Summary: Typo in Popen3 description

Initial Comment:
In section 6.8.1 Popen3 and Popen4 Objects, of the
current and development docs,  under attribute 'childerr':

"""
Where the standard error from the child process goes is
capturestderr was true for the constructor, or None.
"""

The 'is' should be 'if'.

I think it might also be an improvement to replace 'or'
with 'otherwise'.

If a rewriting is acceptable, I think 

"""
A file object that provides error output from the child
process, if
capturestderr was true for the constructor, otherwise None.
"""
improves uniformity with the descriptions of
'fromchild' and 'tochild'.

Your rewrite is certainly much better than the existing text; checked 
in as rev. 1.20.  Thanks!
