No. This is a scripting problem I had on MsWindows Me, and I don't
remember any similar issue on Windows NT -- more tests should be done to
be sure.

The problem comes from pathnames having spaces. If we want to run:
    appl "c:/Program Files/foo.txt" ~/bar.txt
The parameters should be requoted before (/while ?) running xargs. I
haven't spent enough time to find to something that works.
