Sigh. Okay, I have an arbitrary string which is supposed to be a command
line for cmd. This line may contain arbitrary calls to arbitrary programs,
EMX as well as non-EMX programs, builtin commands and an arbitrary number
of special characters like &"'\%$;. The job has to be executed as a child
process, i.e., I have to use spawn*(). And, the command should be processed
as if the line had been entered on a cmd command line, and no quote or
backslash or whatever may (dis)appear magically.

How can I do this?
