// It makes more sense to define octave_popen2 with the wrapper
// functions than it does to try to provide wrappers for all the
// individual functions and macros that it uses and that may be provided
// by gnulib.  We don't include gnulib headers directly in Octave's C++
// source files to avoid problems that may be caused by the way that
// gnulib overrides standard library functions.
