FWIW, I have a buildbot slave on Windows that I needed to use the Cygwin shell, 
and I gave up using the native Windows Python, and switched to using Cygwin 
Python instead, which of course runs your external commands using the cygwin 
shell.  I just ran into too many difficulties trying to make the native Python 
invoke commands via the Cygwin shell.
