Changed the popen2.py _test function to use the "more" cmd when

os.name == "nt".  This makes test_popen2 pass under Win98SE.
HOWEVER, the Win98 "more" invents a leading newline out
of thin air, and I'm not sure that the other Windows flavors
of "more" also do that.
So, somebody please try under other Windows flavors!
