That line and comment are really the crux of my whole argument. It is simple to spawn a process. It is not necessarily so simple to use a non-hardcoded path to the executables
The code from cygpath has a conversion unix_path->windows_path.
, nor is it so easy to ensure that zombie consoles are not created in the process.
They'll die when the xserver kills the connection. Otoh there are a lot of options (esp. the PROCESS_GROUP things) which control such process inheritance.
In any case, I appreciate that you at least have given others something to start with.
Lets see if someone builds these (in my opinion useless) things.
