OK, I've done that. In my case, it is possible to workaround the buggy 
ProcessBuilder escaping - luckily. Now, in other cases it's actually 
impossible, as ProcessBuilder will add quotes where they don't belong. 
For the sake of argument, let's assume my case would be of the latter 
type: I can't workaround ProcessBuilder's mangling of Strings. What do I 
do now?

And why does this matter for the question, whether ProcessBuilder is 
broken or not?
