I've used _cwait but I went with CreateProcess instead of _spawnv.

It's 32768 chars, while for example csant passes about 48,000 chars when 
building pnetlib. I'll look at libtool, but now I'm thinking about using 
a response file, as suggested by Gopal.

So just to recap, the pnet version in the download link provided in the 
previous message works fine for most tasks, as long as the command line 
is less than 32,767 chars.
