If you just need another process (as opposed to a fork per se), and if
you are using GNAT, you can use GNAT.OS_Lib.Non_Blocking_Spawn to start
the child process(es).  It lets you specify the name of the program or
script to run in the process, and also lets you pass an argument
string.  I believe it is supposed to be OS-independent.
