 #  Description:
 #    Separates a string of program flags like "--blubb -test -D AA".
 #    " -" or " /" denotes the start of a flag.
 #    The same sequence inside double quotation marks is being ignored.
 #    Spaces not within quotes are cleaned meaningfully.
 #  Note:
 #    This macro cannot cope with semicolons in the flag string!
