[Rake-devel] Rake::Win32.rake_system

[Turpin, Jay]

OK - now I understand why this was done. However, the CALL command is choking on any commands sent to sh that contains a newline character. It's not pretty, but this fix appears to resolve the problem (at least all of the tests pass):

# Run a command line on windows.
def rake_system(*cmd)
  perform_variable_expansion cmd[0]
  system(*cmd)
end

def perform_variable_expansion(cmd)
  ENV.each do |k, v|
    cmd.sub!(/\%#{k}\%/i, v)
  end
end
