With some programs it is quite hard to use a shell, at least on w32. And you do not always want to be able to edit the `command' argument. (Or, that editing might be done on another level.) However reusing the code in compilation-start may still be good. A simple logic for calling conventions could be that if `command' is a list then a shell should not be used, but instead start-process should be used directly. But what technical difficulties are their doing this?
