+
+ on windows, ensure child processes that get run via backticks get
+ the right pipe handle at stdin/stdout; this is needed to make
+ subprocesses see the correct standard handles such that backticks
+ and piped open()s work when run from within GUI applications
+
+ this also makes it possible to launch wperl.exe in backticks
+ from within an application that has no std handles without a
+ new blank console window popping up
