Since you don't need any shell features like indirection, calling the program
directly (instead of via the shell) is simpler: no quoting, and more efficient.
Whether call-process or start-process should be used in this case depends
on whether the program returns immediately or not, since the output from the
process isn't being used within Emacs.
