More generally, clean-up the various batch files we have.
scripts/mdb.bat.in:
Ensure that the value of MERCURY_DEBUGGER_INIT environment variable does
*not* include double quotes, otherwise the path to the mdbrc file will
be incorrect.
scripts/*.bat.in:
Require command extensions to be enabled. This is the default on
all Windows systems we support; explicitly enabling them is just in case
the user turns them off for some reason.
Don't disable echoing twice.
Quote the entire argument to the set command; this should avoid double
quotes ending up where we don't want them.

Mercury
Mercury is a logic/functional programming language which combines the clarity and the expressiveness of declarative programming with advanced static analysis and error detection features.
More information is available on the website's about pages, in other README files in the source code repository, and in the documentation.
Small sample programs written in Mercury can be found in the samples and extras directories of the source code repository.

The Mercury compiler has two different backends and works on different operating systems. Specific information is contained in individual README files:
-

-
High-level backend targets
-
Supported operating systems
-
