Well, wether a command includes options or not is not universally agreed on.
Importantly, given
    C:/a/b/c/d.exe
path to the executable, IMO, is C:/a/b/c
Further, you can very well provide something like:
    my_gcc_wrapper --time-limit=10 C:/a/b/c/d.exe
as command, which is clearly not a path at all.
