Hmm, it looks like the MINGW32 codepath already _does_ spawn in that
order, but has a "wait_for_child" atexit handler. I wonder if there is a
reason all platforms can't use that trick (though the mingw approach
uses run_command, which makes it harder to do the "wait for input before
starting less" trick).
