=E2=80=98system*=E2=80=99 is a Guile procedure that works like system(3), e=
xcept that it
executes the command directly, instead of via a shell.  So:

  (system* "python" "setup.py" "install")

runs the program =E2=80=98python=E2=80=99, found in $PATH, with the two arg=
uments that
follow.

Does that clarify?

Thanks,
