Hrm. Just picking an example at random, t7006 fails because it uses
--exec-path="`pwd`". And of course colons are meaningful in any
PATH-like context. It would be nice to be able to handle that case
cleanly, but I think we would be breaking compatibility.

So while it would be nice to work on paths with colons everywhere, I
doubt it is worth the effort to start checking it through the whole test
suite.
