Log message (11 lines):
If pterm's execvp fails when given the whole argument list after -e,
try again by passing the single string after -e to "$SHELL -c". This
matches xterm's behaviour (as of xterm 261), and means in practice
that users can do _either_ of 'pterm -e some command' and 'pterm -e
"some command"'.

(A quick survey suggest that the majority of X terminal programs agree
with pterm's old behaviour of only supporting '-e some command',
except that gnome-terminal only supports the other behaviour and xterm
supports both. With that disagreement, I think supporting both is
probably the sensible thing.)
