[racket] Duplicating output from a system call

I find that using make-pipe with copy-port works well. Often you need to
create a thread that copies the data to the real port you want it to go to
and then stdout (or whatever) and when you do that, you have to be careful
to make sure ports get closed properly, or else you'll lose data, but it
doesn't take much code and works well.
