Tangentially related note: maybe we should try to move to a "spawn()" like
interface so that it could port better to native Windows interfaces?
Even under Linux, using vfork()+exec() is actually faster than a regular
fork/exec, so there are potential advantages.
The real advantage of fork+exec is how you can do arbitrary setup between
the two, without needing insanely complex rules for file descriptors etc.
But maybe we don't have tons of those issues?
