It's not quite that simple.  There is a fundamental difference between
Windows and Unix in how information is passed from a launching process to
the launched process.  Different shells can dress this up differently on the
launching side.  The launched apps still have to deal with the inherent OS
differences on their end if they want to appear to work the same accross
different OSs and shells on those OSs.
