#920 Unzipping images with brackets in filenames fails on OSX

[compyx]

According to a thread on Lemon unzipping archives with unzip fails on OSX when filenames contain brackets.

Personally I can't fix this (no OSX), but perhaps someone has an idea? If not, I'm perfectly fine with writing this off as an OSX bug.

Most of the functions in the "src/arch/sdl/archdep_*.c" files should be duplicates of the functions in the "src/arch/*/archdep.c" files (for each OS).

This particular bug is in archdep_quote_parameter(); but, a lot of other functions, also, should be duplicated.

P.S., The comments in "src/arch/unix/archdep.c" don't say why brackets are special. The answer is: Brackets aren't wildcards in CBM DOS; but, they are wildcards in most other OSes. VICE must prevent unzip from doing "file-name globbing".

P.P.S., The same thing should be done in the "src/arch/gtk3/archdep_*.c" files.

Smells fixable to me, I’ll take a look

Can't replicate, so i'd say this was inadvertently fixed sometime in the last couple of years ...
