Below are the changes I've made so far to dosexec.c and I'd like to see if I'm headed 
in the right direction. The code has been rearranged a bit and some of the common code 
has been split off into separate functions and the functionality of __spawnve has been 
transferred to __spawn_internal. I added a flags variable to control whether an 
extension+interpreter or a plain interpreter search is performed.

I don't care too much for the spawnvx interface. My preference would be to call  
something distinctive like __djgpp_spawn and allow more flexibility by (just 
brainstorming here...) allowing a flag to dictate the type of search, an interpreter 
hint (for example, Bash will have already discovered what interpreter is needed to 
handle an extensionless file). Comments?
