[issue30318] test_distutils is too verbose on Windows

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower added the comment:

The problem here I think is that distutils itself should only dump stdout/stderr on failure, but because of how it spawns processes it never actually captures the output from external tools.

We really need to update distutils's spawn() function to use subprocess. That would also resolve a handful of other issues.
