I have a fix for this.  It involves setting default values for linewidth  
and exampleindent for Windows users, as opposed to getting these  
automatically.  It effectively reverts Windows users to 2.13.9 methods for  
setting image linewidths.  Personally, I think this is acceptable - the  
only times we had problems and complaints was for our own documentation,  
which is always compiled on Unix.  The problem lies with how Windows  
handles the pipe settings in
proc = subprocess.Popen (cmd,
        universal_newlines=True, shell=True,
        stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)

so an alternative would be to get this to work on our windows Python, but I  
tried and failed.  If the general approach is OKed, I'll put up a patch.
