Thanks Reinhold, that's a useful clarification.  Unfortunately the check  
for texi2pdf failing is based on the return code from subprocess.Popen,  
which fails for other reasons as described earlier before it gets around to  
issuing a return code.  However, a simple fix based on Mike's suggestion  
(not recorded here, but essentially using the defaults and not calling  
subprocess.Popen if executing on windows32 or mingw32) works fine.  Let's  
wait a while to see if anyone can point to an implemention of texi2pdf for  
Windows, but if none is forthcoming this looks like our best option.
