Re: [dev] [st] Fixed -e with support for spaces

Josh and I were discussing this over IRC. Here's an alternative patch I
came up with. It relies on the shell that executes st to parse the
arguments, so you can't run a command like st -e "touch arst", you have
to run st -e touch arst. This also means you can't have any st arguments
after the -e because they'll all be included in the command to run.
xterm also has this restriction, although for some reason it's "smart"
enough to run xterm -e "touch arst" correctly.
