[issue10739] Subprocess behavior on Windows

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

I think I'll leave that decision up to the doc crew.  My thought was that makefile was supposedly returning a file, therefore it was appropriate to document there that it wasn't really a file on windows, whereas subprocess docs are only talking about files, and it only just so happens that you can pass it a socket on unix by using makefile.
