...other than single-argument system() with a quoted full path, as in
the current RUBY constant.
So it's a toss-up between --
(1) Single-argument system() for all cases of sh(), including
multi-argument sh(). Why it's bad: the user can accidentally depend
on the shell, causing breakage on non-Windows machines. Example:
sh("cat", "foo", ">", "out").
(2) Multi-argument system() via cmd.exe /c for multi-argument sh().
Why it's bad: assumes jruby is in PATH and is the same jruby currently
running.
