Will be good to know why this change was introduced.
I think this commit introduced the change:
http://github.com/jimweirich/rake/commit/9981a2fb9bede211b0f7d00265e7c0e2aa9bc8c9
But I cannot understand the issue behind the shell expansion, since
after all system is indeed generating a new, child cmd.exe which
inherits parent environment.
But maybe is not that the problem, I'm missing something?
