  Log:
  	  ---------------------------------------
    	 Fix the WinME/98/95 double-backslash bug
  	  ---------------------------------------
  
  		Merge to stable branch, at least
  		once we are sure it's right
  
  Backslashes should not be escaped in command-line arguments for rawSystem,
  on Win32.  This only actually causes failures on WinME/98/95, and we can't
  test that since we don't have it.  But this fix seems right regardless.
  
  There are extensive new comments in libraries/base/System/Cmd.hs which
  describe the issues.
