Is there any cross-platform lib to work with shell (cmd in windows) via c++?

Looking for cross-platform lib to work (run scripts, process results) with shell (cmd in windows) via c/c++?

Please tell anything else than <cstdlib>'s system(). I want to know if there is anything with higher level and easy for use.

Maybe a little heavy-weight for just shell processing, but I find http://qt.nokia.com a very useful cross-platform library that will fulfill all needs from launching processes to parsing output and much more. And I find it easy to use and quite well documented. You could probably limit yourself to using the core Qt library if you are not interested in Qt's cross-platform widget lib.

Relevant in this case:

I have used boost.process since 0.1
It is not officially included in boost mainstream, but seems to have reached a well tested state and seems to be on the point to be included.
