There's no shellExec, but executeShell.
spawnShell would fit better since author used spawnProcess in 
original post.

Whether spawnProcess should handle .bat and .cmd is a matter of 
function design really. Actually I would like to treat 
spawnProcess more like double-click on application and 
double-click works for scripts on windows. So there will be no 
special code for phobos user to handle this case.
