Trouble with this is you rapidly get into the problem of implementing your own shell command-line parsing (split on space, unless it's in a string, or escaped, ...)

Having said that, it may be necessary.

Given the time I'd offer a patch, but that's in very short supply right now (time that is, not patches ).
Heh, tell me about it.
