Re: [cdt-debug-dev] Quoting for MI -environment-cd command

["Mikhail Khodjaiants" <mikhailk@xxxxxxx>]

I am using gdb 6.3 on Windows, my workspace path contains space characters 
and it works fine with both (standard and CygWin) command factories.
The problem is Linux. I have tried gdb 5.3 (2002-11-29) and it works fine 
without quotes but fails with it. gdb 6.4 doesn't work regardless if there 
are quotes or not.
The new "commandFactory" extension point has been added lately (CDT 3.1). If 
you need to use a particular version of gdb the best way is to contribute 
your own command factory. You can simply extend the "CommandFactory" class 
and overwrite the commands you need to change.

What version of GDB was this fixed in?  CDT currently supports GDB 5.2.1
I believe, so we would have to maintain support for whatever behaviour
is there.
