Subject: bug#10523: 24.0.92; Wrong init value for eshell-windows-shell-file
Date: Mon, 16 Jan 2012 22:45:50 +0100

The function eshell-invoke-batch-file expects that
eshell-windows-shell-file points to something with the behaviour of
cmd.exe. Currently it defaults to the path to cmdproxy.exe (the default
value of shell-file-name), which will not work properly.

The patch below solves this issue.
