3.5.18 `raw-shell-str' - single quote shell string
Usage: (raw-shell-str string)
Convert the text of the string into a singly quoted string
that a normal shell will process into the original string.
(It will not do macro expansion later, either.)
Contained single quotes become tripled, with the middle quote
escaped with a backslash. Normal shells will reconstitute the
original string.
NOTE: some shells will not correctly handle unusual
non-printing characters. This routine works for most reasonably
conventional ASCII strings.
Arguments:
string - string to transform
