This is something I want to continue working on eventually, but other  
stuff (university and some other projects) have got in the way :-(  I  
think the version in the Subversion repository works, and it has  
evolved somewhat since the 0.1 release was published based on  
multiple suggestions from the preliminary review.

Fortunately, when I get back to this, development should be far  
easier thanks to Parallels and virtualization, that I can now run in  
my machine :-)

FWIW the next step in Boost.Process I was going to take was exactly  
that: allow asynchronous communication with child processes and  
asynchronous notification of their termination.  But I got stalled  
trying to understand how to merge this features properly into  
Boost.Asio and didn't have enough time to continue investigating how  
to achieve this.

Kind regards,
