Yeah, sorry, that was what I meant basically... right now, unp does
something like \"$filename\" which is really naive...
One of the things that made me use Python for most of the things I've
been using Perl before was the great subprocess module. That's the first
API I've ever seen which makes it nicer to do these things right than
doing them the wrong way...

best regards,
