Heh -- yes, and I wasn't building them.

Now test_popen2 fails for a different reason:

def _test():
    teststr = "abc\n"
    print "testing popen2..."
    r, w = popen2('cat')
    ...

Ain't no "cat" on Win98!  The test is specific to Unix derivatives.  Other
than that, popen2 is working for me now.

Mumble.
