Inflicting the incapacities of non-free on the free software world :-(

So I think the cast to int is not correct, at least on some
architectures.
Without the g_spawn funcs the int is all is for now, I believe.   
Ints of
course will, with a little luck, inter-operate with native forking,  
and
at least a couple of the job-starting modules on cpan.

Also, can you write a unit test for this?
Below, with a couple of lines to hopefully skip if fork() isn't a real
fork, but I've got no way to try that.
Any win32 users willing to try out this patchset?
