I only partially followed the discussion. I think the starting point of 
this was that the library needs a way to kill a child for example to 
prevent a deadlock when a pipe breaks, etc. What would in this case be 
the default behaviour on linux? I would think that a solution would be 
perfectly fine if it behaved as expected on each operating system, even 
if the behaviour is different for the different operating systems.
