How would one use CreateProcess to run multi-command actions? For example:

actions archive bind RSP
{
$(RM) "$(<[1])"
$(.LD) /lib /NOLOGO /out:"$(<[1])" @"$(RSP)" && $(RM) "$(RSP)"
}

How would one use CreateProcess to run shell commands in actions? For 
example:

actions archive bind RSP
{
if exist "$(<[1])" DEL "$(<[1])"
$(.LD) /lib /NOLOGO /out:"$(<[1])" @"$(RSP)" && $(RM) "$(RSP)"
}

FYI; The examples are straight from the msvc.jam file.
