New submission from Dan Colish :
The hardcoding of /bin/sh in the Popen _execute_child method can be a point of
frustration when so many users are used to their chosen environment shell. The
module can easily support the re-use of the defined $SHELL variable. I've
attached a patch which gives one way of doing this. Before I get into writing
tests for this, I wanted to float the idea of adding this feature.
