Summary: get status output fix for Win32
Initial Comment:
the two command output retrieval functions for python are broken on win32, and
this patch fixes this, although it is possible that this fix will also work on
dos, and os/2, but i am not sure about this... I've already tested it against
python 2.5, 2.4 and 2.3, on windows xp and server 2k3.

there is still a reason to do this, except for it'll haft to be integrated
into the new module, because of how windows/dos handle the command line
input, and most people will try working it as is, which is just simply put
in a windows/dos command and expect it to work like it does in unix based
systems, at which this does the job really well... a sample of that would
be to call it like so:
commands.get_output("echo Testing")
as for tests I'll get that generated fast, so expect something to be
posted in a few days.

Ken, thanks for the patch! To be considered for Python 2.6, this patch
would have to update documentation (Doc/lib) and tests (Lib/test) as well.
But more importantly: This entire module is likely to be deprecated in
Python 2.6, in favor of the subprocess module (which will gain new
functions, subprocess.get_output() and subprocess.get_status_output().)
There was a long discussion about it on python-dev:
(start of a long thread)
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2007-March/071929.html
(even more)
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2007-March/072046.html
If that happens, there's no particular reason to do this, right?
