Thanks.  You can go ahead and commit this, these changes don't affect
MS-Windows at all (except in trivial "a = b; b = a;" way, without
changing a or b in between).

However, please omit these changes from the changeset:

They are not needed.  (The Windows build of Emacs doesn't use any
functions of the exec* family, because they are fundamentally broken
on Windows.  I will look into removing the other exec* macros from
Windows-specific files.)
