OK, here's an updated version:
- move popen2 code into lo-sysdep.cc => octave_popen2
- keep popen2 interface in octave_syscalls class
- modify pipe interface to separate read/write ends of the pipe
 
While doing this, I realized that the POSIX implementation of
popen2 relies on members of octave_syscalls, so I had to
cross-include lo-sysdep.h and oct-syscalls.h, because I move the
entire implementation in lo-sysdep.cc. Another possibility would
be to keep the POSIX implementation in oct-syscalls.cc and put
only the other impl in lo-sysdep.cc. Which one is better?
