Linux: fork() exec()
Win32: CreateProcess()

Linux: exit()
Win32: ExitProcess()

Linux: get/putenv()
Win32: Get/SetEnvironmentVariable()

Linux: waitpid()
Win32: GetExitCodeProcess()

Linux; getpid()
Win32: GetCurrentProcessId()

It would be nice to have wrappers for these functions.  Thoughts, Glynn?
