win32: I try to script a command-line application on Windows2000, no luck so far

[Christian Aastorp]

I'm trying to control a number of command-line tools from python on
Windows2000. I need to start the tools, give parameters, and capture
the console output.

I've done some tests with popen2.popen2 and win32pipe.popen2, but am
unable to get the desired results, any pointers are most welcome!
