I don't know any way of doing this besides spawning a separate thread that a) starts the process, b) waits for it to complete, and c) calls the callback function/delegate.

Is this what you had in mind?

I'm not sure if this is supported in Windows, but if so, it might be nice if I 
could set a callback that would be executed when the process completes.

Hi,

Recently, I found myself in need of the functionality that is (or should have 
been) in std.process, but unfortunately I found it lacking in many respects.  
Assuming that improving it currently isn't at the top of the to-do list for 
Phobos, I decided not to wait, and rather to write my own version.  If you want 
you can check it out here:

Code:   http://github.com/kyllingstad/ltk/blob/master/ltk/process.d
Docs:   http://kyllingen.net/code/ltk/doc/process.html

I don't know if any of it is usable for Phobos, but if it is, I'd be happy to 
contribute.

I've tried to write it in the style of std.concurrency, with a function 
spawnProcess() that returns a Pid struct.  Currently it is for POSIX only, 
since I have no experience at all with the Windows API.
