Quoting quotes in awk

[Ken Turkowski]

How does one quote quotes in awk?  I'd like to do something like the following:

	print doit "\"" last0 "\"", "\"" $0 "\"" | "sh"

I.e. I want to pipe output to a program, putting quotes around some of
the arguments so they don't get interpreted by the shell.  Alternatively,
I'd like to execute the program "doit" with arguments determined from
the awk program:

	print "" | doit "\"" last0 "\"", "\"" $0 "\""

Can someone give me some ideas on how to do this?
