Absolutely necessary, as any number of shell gimmicks can be used in
the passed string, same as on non-Windows boxes; .e.g.,
>>> import os
>>> os.environ['STR'] = 'SSL'
>>> p = os.pope

The test suite currently (2.5) has two failures on Windows
if Python is installed into a directory with a space in it
(such as "Program Files"). The failing tests are test_popen
and test_cmd_line.
The test_cmd_line failure is shallow: the test fails to properly
quote sys.executable when passing it
