+ Overview: When specifiying a -P option to the cab task using the options 
+ attribute I receive the following error:  [cab] -P option requires a parameter
+ 
+ The task looks like the following:
+ 
+ <cab cabfile="${webapp_dir}/communication.cab"
+      verbose="yes"
+      basedir="${basedir}"
+      options="-P classes\ -P tweb\"
+      includes="classes/com/nsaglobal/communication/client/*.class,
+                tweb/**/*.class"
+ />
+ 
+ I modified Execute.java to output the command to the console.  The result is:
+ 
+ cabarc -r -p "-P classes/ -P tweb/" n E:\development\nsaglobal\webapp\communica 
+ tion.cab @C:\DOCUME~1\bwalker\LOCALS~1\Temp\ant-73378.tmp
+ 
+ If I execute this directly from the command prompt I will get the same error 
+ message.  However, if the quotes are removed from around the -P arguments the 
+ command will execute successfully.
+ 
+ So, I modified Commandline to no longer quote arguments with a space in them.  
+ Unfortunately, the same error is produced, [cab] -P option requires a parameter.
+ 
+ Any help is appreciated.
