Just out of curiosity, given that we no longer support Windows OT (95, 98, Me), 
does the comment

    /* Tricky to use pipes in win9x, as no concept of wait.  NT can
       do this but that doesn't cover all win32 platforms.  GTK can do
       this but doesn't seem to work over processes.  Attempt to do
       something similar here, start a timer and check for data on every
       timeout. */

in pipe_input_set_handler() still apply, or can we now handle pipes on Windows 
the same way we do on UN*X?  If so, that would at least reduce the number of 
places where we need to ask for the exit status of a process.
