If you can point me to some way of implementing _exec[lv][ep] using the standard win32 API I would be more than willing to.
You could do:
if (CreateProcess(...) == successful) ExitProcess(...);
Unfortunately that was one arguable shortcoming of win32 process management in that it did not have any interface that allowed loading and running an image in-process.
No, but who says that that's what exec does in msvcrt anyway? It would be a big mistake to accuse Microsoft implementations of having the same semantics as similarly-named Unix functions, so don't do that, please.
