Actually, it is really just the first one of the original 4 patches in this old mail,
so I did split it up, but I went overboard making it faster...


BTW I think one of the minor findings I posted earlier got overlooked:

It's a problem only on Windows, so maybe it's not relevant. Other commands
like "add" output correctly backslashes, and not forward slashes.
