Comment:

 We generally try to minimize the slave-side configuration - it spreads
 knowledge of how the build system is configured too thinly.  I think
 explicit is better than implicit, and that this behavior should be
 explicitly enabled on the master.

 There's been talk about running slave-side commands via BAT files, too,
 rather than the %COMSPEC% commandline, which would also introduce
 different semantics.

 I wonder if we should add a !ShellCommand option like `windowsMethod` that
 could be used to enable any of these three (and whatever other madness
 gets dreamed up)?

 I'd like to get some guidance from some of the windows folks - bdbaddog?
 callek?
