"go <name>" is broken on PowerShell

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This happens on Windows 7's PowerShell[1]:

[pypm] C:\Users\sridharr\as\pypm>go tmp
[pypm] C:\Users\sridharr\as\pypm>go ...
[pypm] C:\Users\sridharr\as\pypm>go ..
[pypm] C:\Users\sridharr\as\pypm>go .
[pypm] C:\Users\sridharr\as\pypm>

As you can see, nothing happens (i.e., directory is not changed) when you 
use go in PowerShell.

I should be able to help with this, if you want.

Here's a rhetorical question: how much paint was huffed before the Powershell 
spec was 
green lit for production?

I experienced the same problem - so I fixed it.  

The attached patch adds support for a Powershell driver.  I've also attached a 
full archive with the patch pre-applied, for those who don't have GNU patch 
installed.

I've updated the included README.txt with instructions on adding the Powershell 
wrapper.  Short version: set the SHELL environment variable to "powershell" and 
run "python -m go" again.

Following up on own post, while I was at it I implemented a couple of the 
feature requests in this tracker.  I put the cumulative patch on my website at:
