Sign me up as an interested party.  Spawning and controlling processes is
extremely handy for doing integration.  

I don't have time to critique your code at the moment, but you might have a
look at the ACE library implementations of these same concepts.  I realize it
might be tough to look at the implementation, but it is a C++ cross-platform
solution that I've used successfully several times now.
