Prevent msys2 conversion of "cmd /c" switch to a file path

adunstan · adunstan · commit 801b2618ef38 · 2019-09-09T09:03:10.000-04:00
Modern versions of msys2 have changed the treatment of "cmd /c" so that the runtime will try to convert the switch to a native file path. This patch adds a setting to inhibit that behaviour.
