 *  These routines are based on the standard UNIX stdio popen/pclose
 *  routines. This version takes an argv[][] argument instead of a string
 *  to be passed to the shell. The routine execvp() is used to call the
 *  program, hence the name popenvp() and the argument types.
 *
 *  This routine avoids an extra shell completely, along with not having
 *  to worry about quoting conventions in strings that have spaces,
 *  quotes, etc.
