Windows: normalize $COMSPEC
* Environment variables are case insensitive on Windows
while SciTECO variables are case sensitive.
We must therefore make sure that we first unset any $COMSPEC or $ComSpec
from the environment before resetting it, thereby fixing its case.
* Fixes command execution via <EC> on systems where the variable
was not called $ComSpec.
