On windows you must put the command line arguments in the correct order
(see the documentation for details of correct order)
On linux (and I assume other POSIX) the order is not critical.
windows command-line sucks anyway, so using pipes or temporary files
for the commands is probably a better solution, especially if the
commands are determined at runtime.
