StringUtils quoting problems
----------------------------

                 Key: EXEC-39
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EXEC-39
             Project: Commons Exec
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.0
            Reporter: Sebb


There are various problems in the StringUtils class:

isQuoted() - does not check that arguments have the same opening and closing 
quotes. This may be a rare case, but it's trivial to fix. There are no test 
cases for the method.

quoteArgument()
 - does not work properly on Windows, which only treats double-quote as a 
quoting character; it should not fail if a Windows argument contains 
single-quotes, as they are not special.
- does not quote special Unix characters either

stringSubstitution() does not document what the characters can constitute a key.
