Woa, that's not completely right what you claim there: these single quotes you
used in your mail are not present in your code, instead there are accent
characters present! Depending on the charset you use, these are represented
with a certain byte value in the file and when you use a different charset to
display them you get different results. Try looking at the file with a hex
editor (or the hexdump/hd tool). You will see that under both systems, the
byte value is the same and only the display differs (I guess, didn't try it).
This is the result of the configured characterset and can be changed with the
so-called locale. How to set that depends on the system you are on.

BTW: you can't portably use anything but the basic ASCII charset in C or C++
sources, so using the straight single quotes (like e.g. in your case labels)
should do the job.
