Charles-François Natali added the comment:

Richard, apart from performance, what's the advantage of this approach over the 
fork+exec version?
Because it seems more complicated, and although I didn't have a look a this 
last patch, I guess that most of the fork+exec version could be factorized with 
the Windows version, no?
Since it's only intented to be used as a "debugging"/special-purpose 
replacement - it would probably be better if it could be made as simple as 
possible. Also, as you've noted, FD passing isn't supported by all Unices out 
there (and we've had some reliability issues on OS-X, too).
