Summary:                    msh doesn't forward arguments with '=' to scripts
Description: 
I've got a couple of scripts using an arg=val scheme.

I found the script "argtest"
#!/bin/msh
echo $# $0 $1 $2 $3 $4 $5

called with argtest one two=2
should give as a result: 2 ./argtest one two=2
with msh I get:
1 ./argtest one

only ./argtest one 'two\=three'
gives the expected result. Quoting is not an option for me as the
arguments are passed to another script

I'm not sure if it was a bug or a feature to ignore arguments with "=" but
the following changes fixed the thing for me. At a glance the assign() call
is only there to check if there might be an assignment, not to actually
create the vars internally...

Didn't check too much for side effects...

Should be cross checked by someone with more knowledge about the msh
internals.
