BTW, I've been wondering lately if we'd not be better off to look at
using threading in the Windows port, if it'd help us get around the
fork/exec data transfer problem. I'm not sure that it would, mind you,
but if it would give an answer it might be a lot less painful than
solving the data transfer problem directly.
Our main objections to threading in the past have always been lack of
portability and loss of robustness. Portability isn't an issue for a
Windows-only solution, and I'm not too concerned about the other either,
since I'll never think that Windows would be a place to run a production
server anyway.
