   I checked the gcc/2 library source (2.1) and there is a popen.c
   file in the gen subdirectory.  It contains popen(..) and pclose(..),
   however I didn't take the time to find out which library they're
   actually in.  

   (Rumor-spreading: there may be a pd-sorta OS/2 lib.exe coming soon -
   no, it's not from me)

Those functions are in the source, but they are not in libc.lib for
one quite sufficient reason: they use the vfork() call, and there
is at present no OS/2 equivalent :-(
