Thanks.  To make my intent clear: I meant to enhance cmdproxy to use a
batch file when invoking the windows shell.  You will see that there's
a variable need_shell in cmdproxy's `main' function which gets set to
a non-zero value when cmdproxy decides it needs to pass the command
the the shell instead of invoking it directly.  What I suggested is to
modify the code in this case to put the command on a temporary batch
file, then invoke the shell on that batch file rather than on the
command itself.
