    Original issue was descibed in http://reviews.reviewboard.org/r/3804/
    A console window would pop up every time popen is invoked on Windows 7 
    
    Unfortunately, this fix has created a regression on other OSes

    The goal of this update is to prevent Popen shell=true unless Windows 7 and python 2.7.x
    
    Please comment it, do not whenever it is the best place/way to implement such _popen_shell=T/F
    
    this can be merged from https://github.com/nanouck/reviewboard
    on windows 7 and python 2.7.3
    _popen_shell = True
    
    on windows XP and python 2.7.3
