Regrettably, Windows (MSVC) includes _exec functions, but with the behavior that it seems to rejoin arguments into a single string, which then gets split again.

> Spaces embedded in strings may cause unexpected behavior; for example, passing _exec the string "hi there" will result in the new process getting two arguments, "hi" and "there".

This is worse than not having these functions at all...

Oh yeah, pass those arguments as a list, then we'll completely ignore that and fuck your shit up. Err, I mean you need to quote them! Even though they are passed as separate arguments.
