RE: Unix login name and full name into output?

[Avi Kivity <Avi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Perhaps a (system cmd-string) external procedure would solve this and many
other related problems.

(car (system "echo hello, universe"))  => 0 ;return code
(cdr (system "echo hello, universe"))  => "hello, universe\n" ;stdout

Should be trivial to implement. Of course, it is up to the user to ensure
that no side effects occur.

With 1.3 supporting -Dvar=value, perhaps it's not necessary. (system)
certainly introduces potential portability problems for stylesheets.
