May we use winelib-wcmd as $COMSPEC command processor?

You shouldn't need to rename the file or point to the .exe.so. Unless
you have changed the loadorder, a .exe loaded from the system
directory should match the .exe.so, just like it does for dlls
even if the file itself doesn't exist.

So a CreateProcess of %systemdir%\wcmd.exe should launch wcmd.exe.so,
just like a LoadLibrary of %systemdir%\user32.dll will load
user32.dll.so, even if you don't have a real user32.dll file in
there. If it doesn't do this there's a bug somewhere.
