What about supporting environment variables specific to the child process? This 
is necessary for distinct environments between different subprocesses and the 
parent. This could be done by prepending the command with 'env' but it'll be 
much nicer to take a map<string, string> of environment variables and setenv 
them after the fork.

Along the same lines, what about optionally taking a user and working directory?
