No. G_spawn() uses the _P_WAIT flag, while the DBMI requires
_P_NOWAIT.

G_spawn_ex() supports background processes, but it doesn't support
redirecting descriptors on Windows. The only way to fix that is to
re-write it to use CreateProcess() rather than spawnvpe(); Python's
subprocess module would probably be a useful source of clues.
