### Please describe the problem.

Trying to execute an external remote shell script on windows fails. 


### What steps will reproduce the problem?

    $git annex initremote test type=external externaltype=rclone encryption=none
    initremote test git-annex: Cannot run git-annex-remote-rclone -- Make sure it's in your PATH and is executable.


### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?

### Please provide any additional information below.

I've also tried fooling around with the proxy, which may help with pinpointing the issue?

[[!format sh """

VERSION 1

$ git annex proxy -- git-annex-remote-rclone
git-annex: git-annex-remote-rclone: createProcess: does not exist (No such file or directory)

git-annex: proxy: 1 failed

### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)

Oh yeah! This software is awesome. After getting used to having "dummy" shortcuts to content I don't currently have, with the simple ability to get/drop that content, I can't believe I haven't seen this anywhere before. If there is anything more impressive than this software, it's the support it has had from Joey over all this time. I'd have pulled my hair out long ago. :P
