Hmm, me :-)

Is this an architecture (well OS) or target method?

At present there is the target method:

	to_create_inferior(char *exec_file, char *args, char **env)

where ARGS are assumed to be in an OS dependant form but typically ready 
to plonk onto the end of ``exec EXEC_FILE''.  The plonk might be 
performed locally (fork/exec) or remotely.

Given an argv[], I think the code should call on the architecture (OS) 
and not the target to perform the transformation into ARGS.

(This will actually make the change a lot simplier.  The default method 
can do as for UNIX, just djgpp and possibly cygwin would need 
customization.)
