[qmtest] ShellScriptTest under Windows?

The shell script test is the same as the command test (which simply runs 
an executable) except the name of a shell is prepended to the contents 
of the script.  From the book:

    QMTest determines which shell to use by the following method:

      - If the context contains the property
        'ShellScriptTest.script_shell', its value is split into an
        argument list and used.

      - Otherwise, if the '.qmrc' configuration file contains the common
        property 'script_shell', its value is split into an argument
        list and used.

      - Otherwise, the default shell for the target system is used.

So, unless you point your script_shell variable to Cygwin or some other 
Windows rendition of a Unix shell, I'm guessing your script would get 
tossed to the Windows 'cmd' (DOS) shell... where it would crash and 
burn.  (Unless you entered a valid DOS script?)
