In the other thread, 1250kv pointed out that you can use an octal
escape (\042) to get a quote mark. That's pretty grotty, but it
does work in existing ECPG releases as well as with this patch.
So now I think the best answer for this part is just to document that
workaround. Given the lack of complaints up to now, it's definitely not
worth the amount of trouble that'd be needed to have a cleaner solution.
