Nice! I was trying to figure out what the encoding was!

What’s the thinking behind a base64 encoding with double quotes?

Edit: “It is designed for use in environments where "case folding" occurs.”

That explains all the punctuation marks.

Still stupid. Directory names are not known for case folding.

Indeed. I was thinking that maybe it was trying to be compatible with WIN32 apps or something, but it seems that it's running against MS's conventions [0].
