Yeah, this is about Windows portability.

I'll add something like "This is a patch that enables us to use the
run-command API, which is supported on Windows." to the commit-message
in the next round. Is that enough?

I also guess I should have made a cover letter for this series, making
it apparent to reviewers that:
- This patch series is about supporting imap-send on Windows
- It needs some additional patching to get tunnelling support working
on Windows, because we can't exec "/bin/sh" there. Changing it to
"c:\\msysgit\\bin\\sh.exe" makes tunneling work for me, but isn't
exactly portable across installations.

I'll write one up for the next round.
