/*
   Extract of a mail to wx-users to give the context of the problem we are
   trying to solve here:

    MC> If I run the command:
    MC>    find . -name "*.h" -exec grep linux {} \;
    MC> in the exec sample synchronously from the 'Capture command output'
    MC> menu, wxExecute never returns.  I have to xkill it.  Has anyone
    MC> else encountered this?

     Yes, I can reproduce it too.

     I even think I understand why it happens: before launching the external
    command we set up a pipe with a valid file descriptor on the reading side
    when the output is redirected. So the subprocess happily writes to it ...
    until the pipe buffer (which is usually quite big on Unix, I think the
    default is 4Mb) is full. Then the writing process stops and waits until we
    read some data from the pipe to be able to continue writing to it but we
    never do it because we wait until it terminates to start reading and so we
    have a classical deadlock.

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