[tex-live] xindy doesn't work on windows

Dear Ulrike,

#
# Experiment by
#
use File::Spec;
$xxx = File::Spec->tmpdir();
print $xxx;

(1) set TMPDIR="c:\tst tst tst"
    TMPDIR is considered nonwritable and prints the default
    c:\temp (c:\temp exists here).

(2) set TMPDIR=c:\tst tst tst
    TMPDIR is recognized as writable and prints
    c:\tst tst tst

Apparently the double quotes are also considered as characters.

In the case
set TMPDIR=c:\tst tst tst
xindy runs as expected if I use the new xindy.pl:
