Comment (by lantti):
As I mentioned earlier, Windows seems tricky. I had already come to the
conclusion that python subprocess module is not going to be able to
cleanly cut this, but, like you said, the next option would be a rewrite
accessing winapi over ctypes and I don't see that as prohibitive in any
way. I think I have reasonably good understanding of what timeout.hs is
doing, but like I mentioned earlier, it doesn't seem to be fully
functional in the current msys environment. I will slowly keep on
investigating this when I find free moments. After I come with a patch we
can discuss how to best test it.
