'shellslash' assumes that you are using a Unix-like shell. I don't see
how you can set 'shellslash' and use cmd.exe, many external commands
that use Windows commands or are handled by the shell will fail,
since all / in the argument are seen as flags.
Having the behavior depend on 'shellxquote' makes this more complicated,
I'm not sure if that is a good idea. It's hard to think of all the
possible combinations of commands (both shell and others) and what
arguments they take.
So why don't you use a Unix-like shell?
