+1. This is what system in the standard C library does as well. This
way, we can assure the client that we would be executing using the
POSIX shell.

I think changing the API to do this would be redundant, and would
unnecessarily complicate things. If the person is really bent on using
csh, he/she could use the command line "exec csh -c 'actual-cmd-line'"
to /bin/sh which ecore_exe uses.
