The system() call wrapper that I provided in execwrap should also be
able to do this.  It's already MSYS-aware -- it first tries SHELL, but
if that fails, it then searches the PATH for an executable with a name
resembling any of the common Unixy shells, and uses the first match,
if any, which can successfully execute the specified command, as an
interpreter.

Keith.
