troubles with mail-source on NT, pgnus 0.77

[Jack Vinson <jvinson@chevax.ecs.umass.edu>]

I've tried to debug the code a little to see what is happening in
mail-source.  I think the basic source of the problem for me is that
mail-source now calls movemail like this:
   (call-process shell-file-name nil nil nil shell-command-switch 
		 "movemail user@server tofile password")
However, nnmail used to call-process movemail directly:
  (apply
   'call-process (append                                      
		  (list (expand-file-name nnmail-movemail-program exec-directory)   
                        nil errors nil inbox tofile)
		  (when nnmail-internal-password              
		    (list nnmail-internal-password))          
		  (when nnmail-movemail-args                  
		    nnmail-movemail-args)))

This difference seems to be critical for those poor saps who are stuck on
NT boxes.  I thought that it might have something to do with the function
that is the shell-file-name, but it seems to be set correctly and hasn't
given me trouble with other code.

The big question is _why_ is there this difference in the calling
structures.
