I'm not interested in any flamewar. Pls stop.
I haven't too much knowledge about MS Windows, and many years of
experience let me trust Eli.
If you are interested in changing Tramp according to your needs, pls be
cooperative. Make a proposal about a config option which could be used
instead of the COMSPEC env which doesn't exist in your environment. Make
a proposal how to avoid calling cmd.exe at all, it seems not be
mandatory, I believe. Propose something else what is possible.
Your first proposal, trusting C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe, hasn't been
accepted, by reasons Eli has given. And indeed, it looks too me like too
much heuristic, so I'm with Eli.
Best regards, Michael.
PS: I am the Tramp maintainer.
