Subject: system() on windows

I'm trying to figure out why a particular system command is returning
false on windows.

This works fine and returns true:

res = system('dir')

This returns false with $? being nil:

res = system('rake')

if I just run rake at the command line it works fine.   I'm sure this
is something simple, but windows is not a development environment I am
used to.
