Maybe the concern is bogus. I figured that URLs and paths could be
arbitrarily long, so it's conceivable that you could have a simple 1-
or 2-argument command-line that is still so long that a weaker shell
(such as is found in Win9x) would not be able to deal. Not a very
likely case, I admit, but...
