I assume it can't be very common to quote individual elements in this 
manner, otherwise we would have had bug reports on this many years ago. 
I agree we should probably support this and the approach in your updated 
webrev looks reasonable to me. One thing to consider is refactoring it 
so that the Windows specific handling is the Windows implementation of  
ClassLoaderHelper rather than in initializePaths.
