Comment(by glynn):

 Replying to [comment:7 hamish]:

 > in 6.5svn db_shutdown_driver() for WinGrass effectively boils down to:
 {{{
     _cwait(&status, driver->pid, WAIT_CHILD);
 }}}

 The MSVCRT documentation for _cwait() says:
 {{{
 The value of procHandle passed to _cwait  should be the value returned by
 the call to the _spawn  function that created the specified process.
 }}}

 Except, db_start_driver() no longer uses spawn(), it uses G_spawn_ex(),
 which uses CreateProcess(). See r42651 (7.0) and r42654 (6.5).

 You may need to back-port G_wait() (in lib/gis/spawn.c) from 7.0 and use
 that. On Unix, it doesn't matter, as both approaches result in driver->pid
 containing a pid_t corresponding to the child process.
