I wish getting up to speed on source code debugging of libgcj was
not quite such an alienating experience. I'm going to have to
learn GDB for a C++ project soon, so I'll get there...

Thats really the next step though.

You seem to be familiar with StringTokenizer(never used it), so
perhaps you can glean some wisdom from the implementation in the 3.3 
branch:

http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/gcc/gcc/libjava/java/lang/Runtim
e.java?rev=1.12&only_with_tag=gcc-3_3-branch&content-type=text/vnd.viewc
vs-markup


 public Process exec(String cmdline, String[] env, File dir)
    throws IOException
  {
    StringTokenizer t = new StringTokenizer(cmdline);
    String[] cmd = new String[t.countTokens()];
    for (int i = 0; i < cmd.length; i++)
      cmd[i] = t.nextToken();
    return exec(cmd, env, dir);
  }

  public Process exec(String[] cmd, String[] env, File dir)
    throws IOException
  {
    SecurityManager sm = securityManager; // Be thread-safe!
    if (sm != null)
      sm.checkExec(cmd[0]);
    return execInternal(cmd, env, dir);
  }

And then on to the actual implementation for Win32.
