Try backing out 54407 to see if it corrects the problems on the Windows
...
buildbots. This rev was backported, so we will need to keep both branches
in sync, pending the outcome of the test after this checkin.

Patch #1309579 : wait3 and wait4 were added to the posix module by Chad J. Schroeder.
...
This was a fair amount of rework of the patch. Refactored test_fork1 so it
could be reused by the new tests for wait3/4. Also made them into new style
unittests (derive from unittest.TestCase).

SF bug 1071087: os.walk example for deleting a full tree is sometime wrong.
...
Clarify that the example assumes no links are present; the point of the
example is to illustrate a need for topdown=False, not to wrestle with
platform-dependent link convolutions.
Also spell os.path.join() out in full, instead of using a shortcut import.
The bug reporter was confused by that too, and it's clearer this way.
Bugfix candidate; but I don't intend to backport it.

Document that on Unix, the 'cmd' argument to the os.popen2/3/4 and
...
popen2.popen2/3/4 functions can be a sequence. All texts are a variation on the
following:
On \UNIX, \var{cmd} may be a sequence, in which case arguments will be passed
directly to the program without shell intervention (as with
\function{os.spawnv()}). If \var{cmd} is a string it will be passed to the shell
(as with \function{os.system()}).
