      When fossil start editor (or diff) application, it use 'system(...)' function and mingw(msvcrt) runtime interprets it to getenv("COMSPEC") + " /c " + "...".
      So if environment variable 'COMSPEC' set to "...\cmd.exe", editor name depends on "cmd.exe"'s quoting rule and application search rule.
      > fossil set editor "\"C:\Program Files\Vim\vim70\gvim.exe\""
      > fossil set editor
      editor (local) "C:\Program Files\Vim\vim70\gvim.exe"
