Why does popen5 needs a C implementation on windows where as
on unix it can be implemented in python?

Answer: because the unix API is in standard python where as
the windows one is not.

win32all covers a huge number of API functions, more then would
be sane to add to os. But would there be any mileage in added
enough from win32all to allow problems like popen5 to be
implemented?

There is already the _reg module that has some win32 functions in
it on the standard install.
