Bumping the target version for this issue to 3.4.

There's a lot of active development in the shell convenience function space at the moment, including my shell_command, Vinay Sajip's sarge, Kenneth Reitz's envoy and the possibility of doing something inspired by Julia's approach to this problem.

I'm not convinced enough that shell_command gets the security trade-offs right to push for this in the two months we have left before 3.3b1 (plus I have other things I want to work on). In the meantime, "pip install shell_command" is fairly straightforward (or similar for sarge, envoy or one of the other shell helper libraries).
