Fix bugs:
457466: popenx() argument mangling hangs python 226766: popen('python -c"...."') tends to hang Fixes argument quoting in w9xpopen.exe for Windows 9x. w9xpopen.exe also never attempts to display a MessageBox when not executed interactively. Added test_popen() test. This test currently just executes "python -c ..." as a child process, and checks that the expected arguments were all recieved correctly by the child process. This test succeeds for me on Win9x, win2k and Linux, and I hope it does for other popen supported platforms too :)
