Arguments passed from g-d-p to $SUPPORTED/$GAME are not "not quoted"
either; they're just the shell's "$@". Individual scripts in supported/
can either get it right (using "$@" and being careful/paranoid) or
not (using $@ or $*).

Quake III Arena was one of the ones that was wrong, but it will be
correct in v38, as a side-effect of switching it to a declarative
description with the actual code written in a language with fewer
sharp edges than shell script.
