Not commenting on the question here, but on the return tuple: should
it be (i,o,e) or (o,i,e)?  The popen2 module uses the latter, but
that's hard to remember for Unix-droids: it corresponds to (1,0,2) in
file descriptors.  So if it's not too late, let's do (i,o,e).

(I tried to read the posixmodule.c source but got lost...)
