Sure, that would work around the problem in the short run.

In the long run, the only real solution would be to stop relying on shell
scripting so much, because the biggest performance hit on Windows stems
from the fact that our test suite is a big honking shell script.

Have you ever watched the movie "Hook"?

Precisely. That way, I not only verified that the key ID was correctly
passed around, but also that it is quoted properly.

Exactly. I want to test --gpg-sign even when there is no gpg executable
available.

Not really, because it is much easier to get quoting of "me" right than of
"\"".

I guess I could change the test to pass --gpg-sign="\"S I Gner\"".
