+def list2cmdline(seq):
+    """
+    Translate a sequence of arguments into a command line
+    string, using the same rules as the MS C runtime:
+
+    1) Arguments are delimited by white space, which is either a
+       space or a tab.
+
+    2) A string surrounded by double quotation marks is
+       interpreted as a single argument, regardless of white space
+       contained within.  A quoted string can be embedded in an
+       argument.
+
+    3) A double quotation mark preceded by a backslash is
+       interpreted as a literal double quotation mark.
+
+    4) Backslashes are interpreted literally, unless they
+       immediately precede a double quotation mark.
+
+    5) If backslashes immediately precede a double quotation mark,
+       every pair of backslashes is interpreted as a literal
+       backslash.  If the number of backslashes is odd, the last
+       backslash escapes the next double quotation mark as
+       described in rule 3.
+
+    Extracted from subprocess.py so that distutils spawn.py can
+    use it too.
