Pasting the command on cmd.exe works fine (after replacing / with \ on
the path to `find.exe')

Executing

cmd.exe -c <command>

from cmd.exe fails on a similar way:

"CS" -o -path "*" no se reconoce como un comando interno o externo,
programa o archivo por lotes ejecutable.

This looks like a can of worms. Can we apply the patch on the original
post, so `rgrep' is usable on Windows with the minimal fuss?
