bug#20167: 24.4; Artist Mode on Windows using figlet requires /bin/sh

[Michael Ziems]

Hello,

i tried to use Artist Mode on my windows machine, but when i want
to add text i get the following error message:
artist-system: Searching for program: no such file or directory, /bin/sh

Wasamasa on the irc-channel of emacs was so kind and told me that this
issue seems to be because of figlet and he recommended me to add this as
a bug report.

Thanks,

Michael
