The patch was actually posted backward so maybe it wasn't clear but the
change is to use double quotes instead of single quotes for Win32
arguments just like we do in other cases in pg_dumpall.c.

Single quotes do not behave the same as single quotes in the WIn32
CMD.EXES processor.  For example, DIR "" and DIR '' produce different
results.
