OK, thanks. On Unix, call-process is capable of running shell
scripts, but Windows doesn't know how to do that based on the #!
signature of the script. So it doesn't work out of the box.
However, you could write a simple 'ci.bat' batch file that executes
the same command as the 'ci' the shell script, then it should work
without the need to involve Bash.
