Raman, without the custom separator it can't be used on Windows. Paths 
with spaces are common there. I suggest we stay open to all platforms. 
In my opinion it's better not to implement it at all, than to implement 
in a form that would not be fully usable.

My idea is borrowed from gcc. When you want to pass parameters to 
linker, you use comma as a separator. But they know that comma is never 
inside a parameter. I tried to make this more flexible. Possibly mplayer 
also does this kind of argument separator substitution.

The patch I submitted was tested on about dozen of examples. I believe 
it behaves correctly. Even if it does not, no-one will suffer. It's a 
sleeping feature. When a dev starts using it and discovers a problem, 
they will inform us. And it seems like there are devs thinking about new 
servers. They may like the feature.
