Hi Guillaume,

As long as I do remember, the commandLineClenOption() function was
introduced, because of the command-line parameter behaves differently with
quote on different platforms.

Though - I have tested your patch (Sorry - I do not have enough time to
spend around pgAdmin now-a-days because of the work load).
But It will be good - if you can please test the patch on all the platform
(specially on windows) with quote in the name for table, user-name, etc
before applying this patch.
