 We have our own version of {{{distutils.util.split_quoted()}}} in
 {{{numpy/distutils/ccompiler.py}}}, which just just makes a minor change
 to distutils default behavior.

 Here is the relevant code from {{{numpy.distutils.ccompiler}}}:
 {{{
 def split_quoted(s):

 <snip>

           if _has_white_re.search(s[beg+1:end-1]):
                s = s[:beg] + s[beg+1:end-1] + s[end:]
                pos = m.end() - 2
            else:
                # Keeping quotes when a quoted word does not contain
                # white-space. XXX: send a patch to distutils
                pos = m.end()

 <snip>
 }}}

 Here is the relevant code from {{{distutils.util}}}:
 {{{
 def split_quoted(s):

 <snip>

            s = s[:beg] + s[beg+1:end-1] + s[end:]
            pos = m.end() - 2

 <snip>
 }}}

 If this isn't necessary we should remove our version of
 {{{split_quoted}}}.  If there is a reason for this check, we need to patch
 {{{split_quoted}}} upstream and remove our version.
