__DESCRIPTION__

shell\_command tries to provide a better interface for communicating with   
commands you spawn on the shell. The examples will give you a much better idea   
of what I mean.  

__USE CASES__

* Run a command, and find out if it was successful (e.g: exited with 0).
* Run a command, and access stdout or stderr.

__EXAMPLES__

The first example lets you handle a failure yourself, but the second example   
assumes you want a exception raised on failure.  

__1.__

    ShellCommand.run "ls" do |command|
      if command.success?
        puts command.stdout
      else
        raise RuntimeError, "The command 'ls' failed." 
      end
    end

__2.__

    begin
      ShellCommand.run! "ls"
    rescue ShellCommand::Exception => e 
      p e.message
    end

__SUPPORTED PLATFORMS__

JRuby, and Rubinius do not implement `Open3.popen3(…)` properly yet. :(  
As soon as they do they will be supported in 1.9 mode.

  * CRuby 1.9+
