Description

When using the build script functionality of git sources in paket.dependencies, the command and argument cannot contain colons. E.g.

git https://github.com/user/repo.git master build: "xbuild /p:Configuration=Release"

I would expect for commas to be a problem too.

I believe the code that causes this is Utils.parseKeyValuePairs. If you think it's a problem worth solving, I am happy to work on a patch, but I didn't want to create a PR without checking first.

Repro steps

1. Add this line to paket.dependencies

   git https://github.com/chmorgan/sharppcap.git master build: "xbuild /p:Configuration=Release"
   

2. Run $ .paket/paket.exe install

Expected behavior

Command runs as expected.

Actual behavior

Paket prints an error message:

Paket version 3.3.6.0
Paket failed with:
    Error in paket.dependencies line 4
  Could not parse build: "xbuild /p:Configuration=Release" as key/value pairs.
"build: "xbuild /p:Configuration=Release"" can not be parsed as key/value pairs.

Known workarounds

None known.

Tried using $(echo -e '\x3A') in place of the colon, but it has no effect.
