Comment(by brendan):
It actually runs EXECSHELL sh -c '...', I believe. And I do think this is
a bit strange. It would be fairly easy to make it do EXECSHELL $shell -c,
in order to preserve EXECSHELL. On the other hand this would leave
EXECSHELL in $0 and probably also affect the behaviour of shells that take
cues from $0 (I believe zsh tries to emulate posix sh if $0 is /bin/sh).
Forgive a naive question, but why do we not allow $shell to override
EXECSHELL in general?
