Initial Comment:
We already know about these issues:
1. No timeouts. The original code wasn't cross platform, after converting to cross platform, grim realised we couldn't use a timeout to stop runaway processes without changing the guts of the cross-platform. So we released, and put timeouts off until v2.0
2. Bad error messages. The error messages as displayed in the chat could be... erm, better. The proper error message is displayed in gaim's debug log. I put this off until v2.0.

I have resolved #2 to the best of my ability.  We now exec
the user's shell (cmd.exe on Windows, so win9x/ME users are
screwed) and feed it the command(s) to run.  This has the
benefit of allowing pipelines to work.  I'm also putting the
error message into the conversation window if there is one.
 I did NOT add async exec and timeouts.

I'm lowering the priority because I think the most important
things referenced here have been taken care of.
