Is there really any advantage to this?  I mean, this is what system()
ultimately does (albeit with "/bin/sh"), so what does this buy apart
from perhaps being a tad more explicit?  (And not working on Windows.)
 Is it any less prone to security holes?

Anyways, I've updated the FAQ and mentioned ["/bin/sh", "-c", ...] as
an alternative.
