The function eshell-invoke-batch-file expects that
eshell-windows-shell-file points to something with the behaviour of
cmd.exe. Currently it defaults to the path to cmdproxy.exe (the default
value of shell-file-name), which will not work properly.
The patch below solves this issue.

Thanks, I installed that change (trunk revision 107089).
