Add proper support for PowerShell#5
Merged
Conversation
PowerShell can’t properly pass string arguments containing the `&` symbol to Windows Command Prompt scripts, if the string containing the ampersand doesn’t have spaces, due to how the cmd prompt parses the `&` as a command delimiter, even in a string. This patch adds a workaround by generating a third script specifically for PowerShell.

LGTM but I wonder if we should create these files on non-Windows by default. |

Well, PowerShell 6 and newer can be installed on non‑Windows platforms as well, unlike the Windows Command Prompt, which is Windows only. Because of this, I’d prefer to also generate the PowerShell scripts on non-windows platforms as well, because that’s the only way to be sure that PowerShell will handle the script correctly. |

Yes, I understand that. Sobwe can add a config to pnpm. Something like
`--power-shell-bin`. It will be true by default on windows and users can
make it true on non-windows
