Summary: Make popen raise an exception if cmd doesn't exist

Initial Comment:
Right now, there's seems to be no difference between
executing a command that doesn't exist and a command
returning 1.  It would be more practical to raise an
exception when trying to execute a system command that
doesn't exist, since it's always an error, and
providing the user the capability to give different
error messages.
