For the 68K mri, I must admit I don't know.

For 68HC11, the Motorola specification says in
Section 8.2.9.5 String Constants, page 14-15:
http://www.mcu.motsps.com/dev_tools/hc12/eabi/m8-16alis.pdf

------
8.2.9.5. String Constants 

A string_constant is a sequence of zero or more ASCII characters 
proceeded and followed by a single or double quote.

 string_constant ::= 'string' | "string"

 - Double quotes shall be permitted only within strings delimited
   by single quotes. 
 - Single quotes shall be permitted only within strings delimited
   by double quotes.
------

I can change the patch to control this depending on the
SINGLE_QUOTE_STRINGS define if you want. Something like 
{in stringer()}:

 	{
#ifdef SINGLE_QUOTE_STRINGS
        case '\'':
#endif
 	case '\"':


I did that for further testing. This does not pollute too much the code.
I'll have to remove the test in that case because it will no longer be
always valid.
