A Japanese gentleman had written an dll as a replacement of system(). You may
find it inside vim wikia.

/*
* Usage:
* :echo libcall("mysystem", "mysystem", "cmd.exe\ndir\n")
* :echo libcall("mysystem", "mysystem", "wget http://foo/bar.html")
*
* Reference:
* http://support.microsoft.com/kb/190351/
*
* Only work for Gvim.

* XXX: no error handling
