Here is the last version of the monkey patch I have from the people
working on it. It has a fallback to the classic fork exec if the API's
don't exists. It seems to solve the main speed problem for us at the

So, we could add this as an alternative SPAWN function under Linux,
right? We don't have to make this the default, a user could activate it
by an "experimental" command-line option for a start.
