I didn't think execing ikarus is a good idea and that's why I changed
it.
Reasons for the change: 1. don't think about what happens if ikarus is
deleted, 2. what if exec is unreliable (can't trust cygwin really),
3. the
executable size is less than 100K in my system and is unlikely to
grow by
much, so, I can't care about saving disk space.
