Summary: hsc2hs looks for cmd.exe under Win98

Initial Comment:
vivian.mcphail at paradise.net.nz

hsc2hs.exe: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\CMD.EXE: runCommand: does
not exist (No such file or directory)

This bug was fixed in GHC 6.4.1 for the library call,
but for some reason this is not the case with hsc2hs.exe.

Windows 98 uses command.com

I believe the issue here is that the 6.4.1 build you're
using was built with 6.4, and hence the hsc2hs binary is
using the old version of runProcess that contains the bug.

For the 6.4.1 release we'll be sure to link hsc2hs with a
working runProcess.
