Sorry, I just re-read your question.

Whilst it was inspired by FreeBSD's popen(), popen2() is *not* intended 
as a drop-in replacement for popen().

RunCommand requires specific semantics to run the child process in a 
controlled way which can be integrated with the XORP EventLoop. This is 
particularly important for the Windows port as the underlying APIs there 
are totally different.
