  I probably sent that before I'd read everything, and I'm not the one 
to change the popen() implementation.
  At this point, I'm waiting for someone who understands the details
to decide what happens (if anything) to the implementation before I
check in any changes to the docs.
  My inclination is to fix popen() on Windows to do the right thing,
but I don't know enough about pipes & process management on Windows to 
get into that fray.
