Having to quote arguments to popen and system is a pet peave of mine.
99% of the time I don't not want or need the shell.  Is it possible to
write versions of system() and popen() that do not use the shell on
Windows?  I know it's possible on Unix systems.  It would be really nice
if both popen() and system() could take a sequence for the command and
arguments in addition to a string.
