Summary: Make commands.getstatusoutput work on Windows

Initial Comment:
The commands.getstatusoutput function does not
currently work on Windows because windows doesn't like
curly braces in shell commands.  By checking the name
of the OS using os.name and not using curly braces when
os.name == 'dos' or os.name == 'nt', the
getstatusoutput can be made to work on Windows.

The commands module is going to stay Unix-specific. There
are too many potential issues with trying to support the
various win32 command interpreters. See
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2004-August/047774.ht
ml and its responses.
