[issue8110] subprocess.py doesn't correctly detect Windows machines

[Dave Fugate]

New submission from Dave Fugate <dfugate at microsoft.com>:

subprocess.py contains the following line (380 in CPython 2.6.3):
    mswindows = (sys.platform == "win32")

which only correctly detects CPython on Windows.  This line should be changed to:
    mswindows = (sys.platform == "win32" or sys.platform == "cli" or sys.platform == "silverlight")

so subprocess can be utilized from IronPython as well.

This bug should be trivial to fix.
