Apparent command length limit for redirect_sh

#36

redirect_sh in ShellUtils apparently has a command length limit of 8255. This may be related to the redirection itself... perhaps there is an underlying buffer someplace? If so, a temporary bat should be made, or something like that.

    Looks like nothing can be done about this, save to warn people. See http://www.ss64.com/nt/cmd.html for command line length limits on windows. I've made a note of this in ShellUtils, but decided not to add in a computational check at this point (since it would only apply to windows and would slow execution).
