**Problem** The sbt launcher script used naive word splitting when parsing `.sbtopts` and `.jvmopts`, so arguments with spaces were split incorrectly. For example, `-J--add-modules jdk.incubator.concurrent` in `.sbtopts` and `-Dtest.key="value with spaces"` in `.jvmopts` were not passed to the JVM as intended.
