Subject: make shellQuoteWin() be more sparing with circumflexes

... as newer versions of nmake (and jom, for compatibility) have botched
circumflex processing (they simply don't do it when shortcutting the shell
evaluation).

as a side effect, the output is also more readable if the string contains
quotes.
