; Spawn a child process running the command STRING with the arguments
; listed in LIST. Return a list of two I/O-ports and the PID of the
; child process:
;
;         (input-port output-port integer)
;
; Note that the full path of the command must be spcified and no
; shell operators like <, >, &, etc may be used. When PATH search
; or shell operators are needed, use SPAWN-SHELL-COMMAND instead.
;
; The input-port can be used to read the output of the command and
; the output-port to send input to the command. Error output of the
; child will be redirected to its standard output.
;
; SPAWN-COMMAND/FD is like SPAWN-COMMAND, but delivers raw Unix file
; descriptors instead of input/output ports.
;
; (Example): (spawn-command "/bin/ls -l /bin")
;              ==>  (#<input-port> #<output-port> 707)
