} And why can't you just commit the code yourself?

     I think a better solution would be to create utility functions for
this purpose (i.e. add to libutil) and adapt user to use it.  For
various projects, I have taken both system() and popen() and converted
them to take full path to command and argv, and use exec* to run the
command (i.e. safe versions of those functions).
