Except on platforms that don't *have* execlp...
I really think that moving to shell scripts is just making more
work for yourselves:
- Users without a shell are going to be suprised / upset and are
going to complain.
- You wil have to spend time dealing with these bug reports and emails.
- You're planning to eventually do something for a C program anyway to
undo the shell scripts.
Why not revert the change, or use the new code from Norihiro, and avoid
the headaches all around?
Then do another clean-up release after that. The urgency to release
RIGHT NOW seems to be self-induced, at least to me, looking in from the
outside.
'nuff said.
