Summary: Redirect stdout in distutils.spawn

Initial Comment:
The attached patch (yeah, right) modifies
distutils/spawn.py to add the ability 
to redirect standard output to a file, at least
on POSIX platforms.  This would be needed for Barry's 
patch to support shar as a Distutils output format.

Questions:
  * Is this a good idea?

  * Is the interface right?  Should it take a 
    file object instead of a filename?  (It therefore
    always uses 'wb' mode, which may be bad.)

  * Can someone contribute the required changes to 
    make this work on NT?
