/** \class cmWin32ProcessExecution
 * \brief A process executor for windows
 *
 * cmWin32ProcessExecution is a class that provides a "clean" way of
 * executing processes on Windows. It is modified code from Python 2.1
 * distribution.
 *
 * Portable 'popen' replacement for Win32.
 *
 * Written by Bill Tutt <billtut@microsoft.com>.  Minor tweaks and 2.0
 * integration by Fredrik Lundh <fredrik@pythonware.com> Return code
 * handling by David Bolen <db3l@fitlinxx.com>.
 *
 * Modified for CMake.

 * For more information, please check Microsoft Knowledge Base
 * Articles Q190351 and Q150956.

  /** Code from a Borland web site with the following explaination :
   * In this article, I will explain how to spawn a console
   * application and redirect its standard input/output using
   * anonymous pipes. An anonymous pipe is a pipe that goes only in
   * one direction (read pipe, write pipe, etc.). Maybe you are
   * asking, "why would I ever need to do this sort of thing?" One
   * example would be a Windows telnet server, where you spawn a shell
   * and listen on a port and send and receive data between the shell
   * and the socket client. (Windows does not really have a built-in
   * remote shell). First, we should talk about pipes. A pipe in
   * Windows is simply a method of communication, often between
   * process. The SDK defines a pipe as "a communication conduit with
   * two ends; a process with a handle to one end can communicate with
   * a process having a handle to the other end." In our case, we are
   * using "anonymous" pipes, one-way pipes that "transfer data
   * between a parent process and a child process or between two child
   * processes of the same parent process." It's easiest to imagine a
   * pipe as its namesake. An actual pipe running between processes
   * that can carry data. We are using anonymous pipes because the
   * console app we are spawning is a child process. We use the
   * CreatePipe function which will create an anonymous pipe and
   * return a read handle and a write handle. We will create two
   * pipes, on for stdin and one for stdout. We will then monitor the
   * read end of the stdout pipe to check for display on our child
   * process. Every time there is something availabe for reading, we
   * will display it in our app. Consequently, we check for input in
   * our app and send it off to the write end of the stdin pipe.
