 I'd like to add the command line [http://code.kliu.org/misc/elevate/
 elevate] utility to osgeo4w. Elevate ''"executes a command with UAC
 privilege elevation.  This is useful for working inside command prompts or
 with batch files."''

 {{{
 Usage
 =====

 Synopsis:
   elevate [(-c | -k) [-n] [-u]] [-w] command

 Options:
   -c  Launches a terminating command processor; equivalent to "cmd /c
 command".
   -k  Launches a persistent command processor; equivalent to "cmd /k
 command".
   -n  When using -c or -k, do not pushd the current directory before
 execution.
   -u  When using -c or -k, use Unicode; equivalent to "cmd /u".
   -w  Waits for termination; equivalent to "start /wait command".
 }}}

 The most logical place to add this is as a sub package to [wiki:pkg-
 shell], or perhaps just inside shell.

 Any comments?
