Of course, if you wanted to be nice, you could write a patch to run.exe
that teaches it to read() the contents of a file that it is about to
execute, and if it starts with a shebang, run the interpreter directly
instead of handing things off to the Windows call (and maybe make this
mode optional, requiring a command line option to turn on?).  This is
open source, after all.
