the double-qoutes are the source for this issue, you don't need them here

suggested patch

Hi,

A month has passed since I uploaded the patch.
Can someone please review it and merge it to the source?

Needs a test. :)

I'm unsure under what circumstances this problem occurs. I have projects that I can build on windows that use "develop = .".
Unfortunately, I'm traveling and don't have access to the windows VM I'd normally use to look at this.
