I've attached a C source file with a function (nsh_exec() - no shell exec)
which will take a string, split it (obeying quotes and expanding wildcards
when possible, I might add), and then fork() and execute it.
Also here's a patch on main.cc and which changes main() to grab the
environment and copy it to an external variable 'envlist'. This must be
applied for nsh_exec() to work.
Maybe it'll help...
