Implementation of 'start', take 2

I had a look at cygstart, but it doesn't even try to be
commandline-compatible with Microsoft's start.exe. Oh, well.
I've verified that this implementation of start can do both
start notepad
and
start foo.txt
and that it obeys all the options obeyed by WindowsMe's start.exe.
It also implements the /L option to print out the LGPL.
(Do we have a convention for what this option, required by
the LGPL, should be?)
I'd rather compile it as a .exe rather than a winelib app -
is there a way to do that in the Wine tree?
Also, what do I have to do to cause the resulting .exe to end
up as %windir%/command/start.exe, so it's in the same place
as it is in real Microsoft Windows?
BTW, to make 'start foo.txt' work, you need the registry entries
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.txt]
@="txtfile"
"Content Type"="text/plain"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile\shell\open\command]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\NOTEPAD.EXE %1"
I verified that removing either of these on WinMe caused
'start foo.txt' to fail.
I did not verify that, when you use the /w flag, the exit
status of the subprocess is returned in the same way
as it's done in Windows.
Thanks,
Dan
