And, what are the values of the options that affect "shelling out";
including

" set shell : name of shell to use for ! and :! commands
" set shq : shellquote -- how to quote characters about the cmd
passed to shell
" set sxq : shellxquote -- includes redirection (shellquote excludes
that)
" set ssl : shellslash -- when set, forward slash used to expand
file names
" set shcf : shellcmdflag -- flag passed to shell to execute ! and :!
commands
" set sp : shellpipe -- string used to put output of :make into
errorfile
" set srr : shellredir -- string used to put output of filter cmd
into temporary file
