Hi,

Domen Kožar has fixed some regressions so we cut a 1.6.1:

- http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zc.buildout/1.6.1#id9

Chris Lambacher has been working on the remaining Windows issues and 
had this to say in #buildout:

    "my assessement is that pretty much everywhere a safe string is 
used prior to going into Popen / subprocess.* that is  wrong. The 
_safe_arg was introduced when os.spawnle was being used and the 
parameters(but not the executable) need to be quoted. subprocess 
handles that automatically if you give it an arg list (which is what is 
happening pretty much everywhere subprocess is being used)."

If anyone with Windows experience could confirm and turn the above info 
into a patch, please let us know (e.g. via pull request on GitHub)




Alex
