Comment (by LRN):

 Well, if it comes to that, why can't you add a shellType option to
 ShellCommand, and use it to specify the shell type (POSIX, Windows, maybe
 something else too). And then it's up to the slave to comply with it, or
 tell the master that this shell type is not supported.

 It's not that i don't like master-side configurations, it's that calling
 anything with absolute paths looks SO hacky...

 Also, the solution from comment:4 won't fix current directory - MSYS still
 teleports you to ~/ (unless you also insert ['cd', directoryname] somehow
 into the command). That, or you'd need to hack msys configuration.
