"Viktor, before making such changes to platform.py, please coordinate
with me, as I am the maintainer of that module.

The subprocess change is not OK, since platform.py has to stay
compatible with Python 2.3 which doesn't have subprocess. Please either
revert the change or make it fallback to os.popen()."
