wcmd, external commands, and options

On WinMe, it looks like
start/wait notepad.exe
invokes start with the /wait option, but in Wine,
it invokes start\wait.exe.
As far as I can tell, Wine's CreateProcess is exactly correct
with respect to this issue and WinMe. The problem is in wcmd.
wcmd's code is messy, the fix is probably nontrivial.
A minor complication: in WinXP, start is now built into wcmd
instead of being standalone as in WinMe. As it happens,
doing this would fix the present problem (i.e. start/wait not working)
accidentally. Might be less painful than the real fix.
Who's the wcmd maven around here?
