 Btw, why does the Mintlib scans the arguent of system itself and doesn't
let a shell do the job? Is this a relict of the days when there weren't any
shells around which could do I/O redirection? if you would really start up
a shell with something like:

system(char *cmd)
{
	execl("bin/sh", "sh", "-c", cmd, NULL);
}

 things would be easier any more features would be available.
