Simply forwarding c++-analyzer.win to ccc-analyzer won't actually accomplish that -- you'll have to add a flag or enviroment variable check to ccc-analyzer, which c++-analyzer.win can set before invoking ccc-analyzer.

This doesn't actually fix either problem nicely. ;-) The advantage of a symlink over a wrapper script is that the indirection cost is tiny...at least on platforms where that trick works. That said, it does seem silly to have both a c++-analyzer symlink and a c++-analyzer.win wrapper script. How about moving the bulk of ccc-analyzer into a separate .pm file, which you can then load from ccc-analyzer and c++-analyzer? That solves the quoting problem, too.

(What's wrong with this quoting? Well, what if there are double quotes in the path? Better to sidestep the issue altogether.)
