Summary: subprocess: wait for a period of time

Initial Comment:
I would appreciate if the wait() method of Popen()
would be able to take a time argument, to wait at most
this time, before returning. It would be nice to be
able to wait for a program, and if it has hanged, you
still get back to the program.
