When running a command on windows, `shell: true` must be used so `alias.cmd` can be just invoked as `alias`. This will ensure that template and generator authors do not need Windows-specific logic.

Note: https://nodejs.org/api/child_process.html#child_process_default_windows_shell mentions some special considerations when invoking commands as a shell that can lead to arbitrary command execution. Technically, Composer already executes an arbitrary command for a particular runtime, so I'm not sure if this needs to be handled specially. |
