[qmtest] RemoteShellTarget on Windows

[J C]

>From what I understand of the, the classes
TimeoutExecutable and RedirectedExecutable in
executable.py are not used anywhere. Are they complete
and usable?
 
Assuming that they are usable, could you outline what
exactly would need to be done to use a subclass of
RedirectedExecutable to allow ProcessTarget to work on
Windows.
 
Would the solution involve something like the
following:
 
class QMTestExecutable(RedirectedExecutable):
  def _InitializeParent(self):
    super(QMTestExecutable, self).InitializeParent
    self.command_pipe = self._stdout_pipe 
    self.response_pipe = self._stdin_pipe 
  def _InitializeChild(self):
   super(...).InitializeChild()
        
What else would need to be changed for should this
work?
 
I am currently trying to get RSHTarget to work on
Windows using the remote shell program rshsvc.exe
provided by Microsoft.
        
Thanks,
Nick
