Statement

(alexrp) Hi,

I decided to take a stab at reviving the new std.process written by Lars T. Kyllingstad and Steven Schveighoffer.

The result is here: [1]

I decided to extract the work into new commits because rebasing the old branch in Lars's repo was way too cumbersome after so many months (and that branch also had a lot of merge commits). The code is obviously not written by me; all I did was a couple of build and test fixes.

It currently works on 32-bit and 64-bit Linux. It would be great if someone could take it for a spin on OS X, FreeBSD, and Windows to see how it fares there (I'm particularly worried that I may have broken the Windows build).

Lars or Steven, would either of you be willing to go through the review process with this module? I sent the druntime changes upstream a while back, so the Phobos changes are really all that remain in order to have it included.
