First, I'm not aware of a different between the two, so if you have tests
for that I'm interested. (at least if you are testing 3.0 or newer, but that
I can easily do myself if you have simple reproduction case).
The strange thing is that all variants use CreateProcess, but afaik only
executeprocess in trunk uses the -w variant. I started upgrading tprocess,
but it got out of hand, and I shelved the work.
Afaik by prefixing with \\.\ you can use larger paths with -w variants.
