in reply to Windows quoting

If the argument starts with \", we are out of luck (at least I have not found yet a way how to encode the string '\\"foo' properly for my batchfile

Using the following cmd file as the mechanism of demonstration (called echoem.cmd): 

@echo off

perl -wle"print qq['$_'] for @ARGV" %*

[download]

Does this achieve what you are after? 

C:\test>echoem "\"foo" "bar \"qux" \\\"foo
'"foo'            ### $1
'bar "qux'        ### $2
'\"foo'           ### $3
