Comment (by hamish):

 I've checked in r37289 which calls $cmd as a list, but it's still not
 right. I could get a little closer by using

 {{{
   [lindex $cmd 0] [split [lrange $cmd 1 end]]
 }}}

 instead of $cmd, but then it treats $* as a single argv string:

 {{{
 argv[ 0] = 'print_args'
 argv[ 1] = 'v.db.select'
 argv[ 2] = 'roads where=\"label ~ 'highway'\"'

 =================================================================
 If you wish to resize the X monitor, do so now. Window size is
 locked while interactive modules are running.
 =================================================================

 Sorry, <roads where> is not a valid parameter

 ERROR: Required parameter <map> not set:
     (Name of input vector map).
 }}}


 or if I quote with {} instead of "":

 {{{
 argv[ 0] = 'print_args'
 argv[ 1] = 'v.db.select'
 argv[ 2] = 'roads where=\{label ~ 'highway'\}'
 }}}


 and if I replace $cmd with
 {{{
  ... [lindex $cmd 0] [lindex $cmd 1] [lrange $cmd 2 end] ] &
 }}}

 I get

 {{{
 argv[ 0] = 'print_args'
 argv[ 1] = 'v.db.select'
 argv[ 2] = 'roads'
 argv[ 3] = 'where=\{label ~ 'highway'\}'
 }}}

 there was an idea was to write the command to a g.tempfile then /bin/sh
 that, but I'd rather keep everything in memory.
