Summary: Make os.spawnv not block the interpreter

Initial Comment:
Someone forgot to bracket the calls to _spawnv() and
_spawnve() with Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS and
Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS. This patch also fixes an error in
the docstrings for os.spawnv and os.spawnve.

Are there any objections to my checking this in for Python 2.2?

As the SCons project lead, it would be nice to have a
response from someone on the Python team acknowledging that
this is the right fix for this bug.  As it is, it looks like
we're going to have to ship SCons without -j support on
WIN32 systems due to this problem in Python, but it would be
nice to be able to point people to this patch with
confidence, if they want to add the support to their own
copy of Python themselves.
