gis.m shouldn't be using a shell to execute commands, so shell syntax
shouldn't come into it.

BTW, if anyone wants to take another stab at eliminating shell usage
in C modules, I've added G_vspawn_ex() and SF_ARGVEC since the last
attempt. This should solve the problems with passing variable argument
lists. See the thread "testing native winGRASS" from March for context
(no URL as the web site seems to be down right now).
