mdwsetup.py: Fixes for Python 3 compatibility.

  * Write parentheses around `print' operands.

  * Set `universal_newlines' on in `Popen' to force handling in text
    mode.

  * Use an unpleasant hack to inject the `CommandClass' metaclass,
    because the official syntax is so different between the two
    versions.
