def list2cmdline(seq):
"""
Translate a sequence of arguments into a command line
string, using the same rules as the MS C runtime:
1) Arguments are delimited by white space, which is either a
space or a tab.
2) A string surrounded by double quotation marks is
interpreted as a single argument, regardless of white space
contained within. A quoted string can be embedded in an
argument.
3) A double quotation mark preceded by a backslash is
interpreted as a literal double quotation mark.
4) Backslashes are interpreted literally, unless they
immediately precede a double quotation mark.
5) If backslashes immediately precede a double quotation mark,
every pair of backslashes is interpreted as a literal
backslash. If the number of backslashes is odd, the last
backslash escapes the next double quotation mark as
described in rule 3.
