System.system fails on windows98se, also disables ghci's :!
as reported and discussed in the thread
"win98, ctrl-c & System.system (was: Updated 6.4
Windows installer RC)"
on glasgow-haskell-bugs.
first messages in thread:

Sigbjorn suggested a fix, getting the command
interpreter to use from the environment instead of
hardcoding it:

bugs/2005-March/004862.html
note that on my windows98se system, there is no
command.exe, only command.com:
$ echo $COMSPEC
C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM
which does support the /c switch. Btw, I can't find a way
to pass this switch through System.Cmd.rawSystem -
can anyone enlighten me on how to do this?
