nope. (although it could be uglier there as AFAIK cmd.exe does
not like 'single quotes', only "double" ones, which limits your
ability to nest quotes a bit).

fwiw I'm running this in an MSys/MinGW bash shell in their rxvt
window. (native GRASS w/ Msys terminal) I haven't tried it from
cmd.exe.

The challenge has evolved into getting gdalwarp to accept a
-t_srs +nadgrids term which has a space (or any special char)
in the path or file name of the grid file, on any OS. (it just
jumps out immediately on Windows because of 'C:\Program Files\')

the nuts and bolts and why we aren't using pj_set_finder() is
better explained in this post:
