A question related to svn_io_run_cmd()

Hi

With the 1189 commit, I could remove my system() kludge in the $EDITOR code
and use svn_io_run_cmd().

This ALMOST works the way I want now. And this is a question for feedback on
where we want the remaining problem fixed:

$ export EDITOR=vi (or EDITOR=emacs or EDITOR=echo)
$ svn ci

all work as assumed, but

$ export EDITOR="emacs -nw"
$ svn ci

does not. This way of setting the EDITOR variable works for most other
applications, including CVS and crontab etc why I argue SVN should support it
too.

The reason for the malfunction is that I pass the full string "emacs -nw" as
CMD name to svn_io_run_cmd(), when it really should've been split up and the
"-nw" should've been placed in ARGS[1].

My question is, should I write the wrapper to handle this in commmit-cmd.c
for just the EDITOR functionality, or is this something we might need to make
a more generic approach for in svn_io_run_cmd() or a related function?

Other thoughts?
