????? !!!!

ahh fer xxxx's sake :)

this is after various complicated ways to create a subprocess with
which to communicate (stdin / stdout) involving CreatePipe,
open_osfhandle, - but it's being done from an app that's compiled with
msvcr80.

... but hang on... some notes somewhere after a google search for
cmd.exe.manifest, apparently there isn't supposed to _be_ a manifest
for cmd.exe - so that it can't be "themed".

... wossgoinon?! :)
