Rather, make 'os.execute()' return also the stdout.

I've enhanced it thus:
	rc_int [,stdout_txt ,stderr_txt]= os.execute( cmd_str [,catch_int=0] )

So this works:
_,machine_type= os.execute( "uname", 2 ) -- catches stdout, leaves stderr

This can be done either by 'popen' or using temporary files.
But it belongs to an 'extra' (perhaps etc?) since it's definately not ANSI C stuff.

 Hi All,

How about to add function like
uname to main system library ?
