Here's quick fix for fixing color/colour highlighting within text editors.


-- mp3enc) $RUN_COMMAND nice $EFFECTIVE_NICE $MP3ENCODER -if "$IN" -of "$OUT" $MP3ENCODEROPTS ;;
++ mp3enc) $RUN_COMMAND nice $EFFECTIVE_NICE $MP3ENCODER "-if" "$IN" -of "$OUT" $MP3ENCODEROPTS ;;

It doesn't look pretty, but I think it's a small price to pay for properly 
highlighted text when using a Windows binary?

Also, I have yet to find any reference to "-if" and "-of" command line options.  
Matter of fact, I find little help or manual pages concerning this utility.  I 
believe Lame is more commonly used, especially nowadays!
