Geany-Plugins package should ship `gspawn-win32-helper.exe` and 
`gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe` that is needed by GSpawn, which this plugin 
uses.

As a workaround, one can install the [msys2](https://www.msys2.org/) package 
`mingw-w64-i686-glib2` and copy the above executables from 
`C:\msys64\mingw32\bin` or even simpler, from the official builds like [this 
zip 
file](https://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/glib/2.28/glib_2.28.8-1_win32.zip)
 in the `bin` directory to Geany's `bin` directory found by default at 
`C:\Program Files (x86)\Geany\bin`.

Probably the best long-term solution is for the plugin to use the `spawn.c` 
functions like Geany itself does.
