Are you sure?  This goes through get_output, which already had the logic 
to use bash for long command line.

Ok.  Considering the effort David had to deploy to "get quoting right", 
I'd prefer to focus on more immediate issues.  Ideally, all the process 
invocation logic that David has been working on could be reused in 
flexlink; one tricky point is that in order to simplify bootstrapping, I 
avoided any non-stdlib dependency for flexlink (including Unix).
