Re: [PATCH v3 3/8] imap-send: use run-command API for tunneling

If I were to fix this, I'd prefer not using sh at all on Windows. I've
seen that connect.c doesn't prepend "/bin/sh -c" at all, requiring
tunnels to be self-contained scripts or native binaries, unless I'm
mistaken. I'm not sure if this works at all on Windows, though. I just
think that the assumption that sh is the shell that is going to run
the tunnel is wrong to make, especially on Windows.

I'm really unsure if it's worth the hassle.

We already depend on the existence of a Bourne shell for our scripted 
commands. There are already more places in the code that run "sh" 
than "/bin/sh".
