Double escaping is why I thought that it might be ugly. But as long as
it's meant for tools and users still have something like file: I'm fine
with it.

Fortunately cmd.exe doesn't do escaping. Not having to use it, I must
admit that I would kind of like things like -hda c\\:\\\\foo.img though. ;-)
