Summary: subprocess.py (py2.5) wrongly claims py2.2 compatibility

Initial Comment:
>From the comments in subprocess.py (py2.5):
# This module should remain compatible with Python 2.2, see PEP 291.

However, using it from Python 2.2 gives:
NameError: global name 'set' is not defined

(set built-in used on line 1005)

The subprocess.py in py2.4 was 2.2 compatible. 

Either the compatibility comment should be removed/amended or compatibility fixed.
