I tried googling for some info on this, and got a number of hits
suggesting that mingw didn't emulate popen at all till pretty recently.
For instance this:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/fedora-mingw/2009-September/002087.html
Jones is an ex-coworker of mine, and I'm pretty sure that if he said
it wasn't there then it wasn't there.
So I'm confused about how this worked at all in mingw back-when.
