The second argument is the program to run.  Obviously, "" won't work.
The third argument, where you are putting the program name, is only
used to generate the program's argv[0] and may be anything you want.
In addition, spawnl() requires that the final argument be NULL,
so that it knows where the end of the list of parameters is.  Your
example should be like this:

	spawnl(P_WAIT, "myexe.exe", "myexe.exe", NULL)
