/*
   wxStreamTempInputBuffer is a hack which we need to solve the problem of
   executing a child process synchronously with IO redirecting: when we do
   this, the child writes to a pipe we open to it but when the pipe buffer
   (which has finite capacity, e.g. commonly just 4Kb) becomes full we have to
   read data from it because the child blocks in its write() until then and if
   it blocks we are never going to return from wxExecute() so we dead lock.

   So here is the fix: we now read the output as soon as it appears into a temp
   buffer (wxStreamTempInputBuffer object) and later just stuff it back into
   the stream when the process terminates. See supporting code in wxExecute()
   itself as well.

   Note that this is horribly inefficient for large amounts of output (count
   the number of times we copy the data around) and so a better API is badly
   needed! However it's not easy to devise a way to do this keeping backwards
   compatibility with the existing wxExecute(wxEXEC_SYNC)...
