Okay, the second comment (use static string, not allocated memory) is 
easy enough.  But what's the best way to use "the shell"?  Do a unquoted 
replacement (<<EOF, not <<"EOF") e.g.

   ...
   newargz = XMALLOC(char *, argc+2);
EOF
$echo >> $cwrappersource <<EOF
   newargz[0] = \"$SHELL\";
EOF
$echo >> $cwrappersource <<"EOF"
   newargz[1] = fnqualify(argv[0]);
   ...

?
