without shell expansion (multiple args) you must provide the exact
executable file name. shell expension can add the file name extension
for you.

Hello Everybody,
[skip all the rambling]
I just realized how small and simple is the problem, and is not Rake
fault.
- The multiple arguments rake is issuing is OK.
- system(...) is correctly accepting them.
But, system(...) on Windows is broken.
Previous test was using the full path to ruby location (using RUBY
constant defined in rake.rb:942). The thing is that Ruby on Windows
fails on that.
fullpath without extension (C:/Ruby/bin/ruby) works ok with one
argument:
$ irb
irb(main):001:0> system("C:/Ruby/bin/ruby -v")
ruby 1.8.5 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 114) [i386-mswin32]
=> true
But not with multiple:
irb(main):002:0> system("C:/Ruby/bin/ruby", "-v")
=> false
If instead I append the extension, it works.
irb(main):003:0> system("C:/Ruby/bin/ruby.exe", "-v")
ruby 1.8.5 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 114) [i386-mswin32]
=> true
The funny fact is that from command line, it works:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (D:\Users\Luis\projects\oss\rake.git)
$ C:/Ruby/bin/ruby -v
ruby 1.8.5 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 114) [i386-mswin32]
with or without extension.
I consider this another bug, since the extension is not present or
required in other platforms, but looks like ruby on windows lookup for
executables is failing now.
Please disregard previous message, a patch for Ruby is underway.
