Can't answer all your questions, but I'll share what I got.

First, see http://ruby-talk... for some replacement methods for
`` and system, if you're unable to get the originals to work on Windows.
Downside as this post mentions (http://ruby-talk.com/b...) is
that $? is then not set. It also doesn't help you with stderr, although
there was a recent thread with making a popen3 for Windows, dunno what
the latest on that is. And thread-safe - dunno either.
