Alright, what is the best way to introduce this to svn_io_run_cmd

I am thinking one of two things, either

1) Return an error if non-zero exit
2) Add an out parameter to svn_io_run_cmd which returns the status.

I am leaning towards the latter for a couple of reasons
a) Since we need to use accessor macros to get the value, we can't return
its exact value in an error-code.
b) Most users of svn_io_run_cmd will ignore it, since diff and patch both
return non-zero in many of our normal uses.

i.e. diff returns 0 if no difference, 1 if difference, 2 if problems and
patch returns 0 if all successful, 1 if rejects, 2 if problems.

Will work on 2) unless people advise otherwise.
