subprocess doesn't know how to quote a command line for the Windows
shell, which doesn't follow the rules used by subprocess.list2cmdline.

AFAIK, the "start" command has been built in to the shell since
cmd.exe originated on OS/2 in like 1987. It was enhanced when cmd.exe
was ported to Win32 for NT 3.1.
