The quote being per delimited component is what makes this fifth
approach a huge win.  

All sane components on a list-valued environment are still honored
and an insane component that has either a colon in the middle or
begins with a double-quote gets quoted.  As long as nobody used a
path that begins with a double-quote as an element in such a
list-valued environment (and they cannot be, as using a non-absolute
path as an element does not make much sense), this will be safe, and
a path with a colon didn't work with Git unaware of the new quoting
rule anyway.  Nice.
