make "arg line" and its composition of "arg value"s equivalent

           Summary: make "arg line" and its composition of "arg value"s
                    equivalent
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.5.1

When I do
    <exec executable="${shCmd}">
       <arg line='-c "rm  *.??.html"'/>
    </exec>
it works fine.

when I do
    <exec executable="${shCmd}">
       <arg value='-c '/>
       <arg value='"rm  '/>
       <arg value='*.??.html'/>
       <arg value='"'/>
    </exec>
     [exec] Current OS is Windows 2000
     [exec] Executing 'C:\cgywin\bin\bash.exe' with arguments:
     [exec] '-c '
     [exec] '"rm  '
     [exec] '*.??.html'
     [exec] '"'
     [exec]
     [exec] The ' characters around the executable and arguments are
     [exec] not part of the command.

Apparently, this has something to do with Runtime.exec and the String[] version
of it?  It seems that there is no way to compose a single string from several yet.
