Summary: Fix spawn bug on Windows 2000

Initial Comment:
In spawn.py, in the Windows section, it is a bug
not to put quotes around the Python executor. The
following

  def spawn(bin, *args):
    nargs = [bin]

should be changed to this:

  def spawn(bin, *args):
    nargs = [ '"'+bin+'"' ]

Without this change, on Windows 2000 if Python
is installed in "Program Files" an attempt to
start a run from Idle (F5) fails, due to the
8-character file-name munging.
