# actually wrapper scripts (i.e. .bat files on Windows) rather than binary
# executables, the "command" to run has to be prefixed with this magic.
# The GN toolchain definitions take care of that for when GN/Ninja is
# running the tool directly.  When that command is passed in to this
# script, it appears as a unitary string but needs to be split up so that
# just 'cmd' is the actual command given to Python's subprocess module.
