As a start, Martin Wilck has just sent some cmd /c parsing fixes (not yet
applied); see wine-devel for information.

As mentioned in the message, bash interprets the bang, not wine. Use '!'
instrad
(i.e. use bash quoting rules).
To check wine behaviour more closely, you should preferably try them from
within "wine cmd"
(mixing wine/cmd quoting can be tricky; e.g. ./wine cmd echo '"!"')

Those work with Martin's patches applied, tried within cmd

Hopefully they'll be merged soon.
