# wrapper for system() function
# that runs a command CMD with options OPTS and one filename FILE.
# Unlike system(CMD " " OPTS " " FILE) the function runcmd1 handles
# correctly FILE containing spaces, single quote, double quote,
# tilde etc.
#
# =item I<xruncmd1 (FILE)>
#
# safe wrapper for 'runcmd1'.
# awk exits with error if runcmd1() function failed.
