Windows runners on Cygwin: Command line quoting fixed

The Windows runners have been fixed to handle quoting in single-quoted command line arguments correctly. A simple xp -e 'echo "Hello World";' issued on Cygwin would yield a parse error, expecting `','' or `';'' previously while it now works as expected. The same command line but with switched quotes (double quotes surrounding, single quotes inside) worked before and of course still does but was problematic because variables needed to be escaped by a backslash to prevent expansion by the shell.

To update the runners type the following command in the directory you've installed the runners to:

  $ wget http://releases.xp-framework.net/download/bin/setup -O - | php
