As I wrote elsewhere, it's better to change %1 to %*, because then the
batch file is not limited to a single argument.

It's not a Windows problem, and it's not an Emacs problem, either. A
program running on a certain OS cannot be reasonably expected to run
shell scripts from another OS. Granted, a motivated volunteer can
step forward and write the code for Emacs to support Unix shell
scripts on Windows (and they will be most welcome), but until then,
this is at best a feature request, not a bug.
