Is it really a good idea to assume that the Windows installation is on
drive C: ?
(This is an honest question, not a rhetorical one. I dunno whether
inserting the C: is better than leaving it off. I can think of cases
where either way will break, but I'm unsure what's most likely in
practice.)
Not sure. Should we just do "/windows/system32/cmd.exe" and leave off
the C:? The previous default was "/bin/sh" and that certainly will not
work on Win32.
I think another path to try if COMSPEC is not defined is:
%SystemRoot%/system32/cmd.exe
