Description:
------------
escapeshellarg() doesn't escape correctly double quotes (enclosing with simple quotes on Windows does not work anyway...)

Reproduce code:
---------------
conversion.php
--------------
<?php
// The goal is to pass geographic coordinates
echo escapeshellarg($argv[1]);
?>

shell
-----
$ php conversion.php 45?53'36"

Expected result:
----------------
"45?53'36\""

Actual result:
--------------
"45?53'36"

Windows shell will not pass the trailing " to php. Try dumping $argv[1] to see it yourself :)

Mmm... yes, indeed :) is that the "normal" behaviour ?
Dumping and playing with the argument however, I noticed a triple " at the end will do. 

Example
-------
45?53'36"""

Do you know more about that ?
