std.process.shell hasn't worked for a while now on win32. This is very irritating, as it leads to kludges like writing data out to a file and then reading it back to emulate the functionality. I figure that this omission should at least be documented somewhere.

To clarify: std.process.shell() is unimplemented and throws an exception to that effect when called on win32.

Fixed in the future 2.032 (and already committed for the hurried).
