Not at all. The config shells require a Bourne shell and certainly
won't work with cmd.exe.

Is this really cmd.exe?

This actually looks fine, except that it is missing \begin{document}
at \begin{document}. Are you sure that the contents of "foo bar.tex"
are fine? Or does the thing have problems opening \jobname.aux?
What does \message{\jobname} report? And is this different when
calling
latex "foo bar"
?
Looks like the treatment of " is more similar than I thought. Is this
really cmd.exe? Maybe I am confusing its behavior with that of
command.com...
