 * This code manages child processes.  We can communicate with child
 * processes using signals.  Because signals are not supported on W32
 * and Java (at least not nicely), we can alternatively use a pipe
 * to send signals to the child processes (if the child process is
 * a full-blown GNUnet process that supports reading signals from 
 * a pipe, of course).  Naturally, this also only works for 'normal'
 * termination via signals, and not as a replacement for SIGKILL.
 * Thus using pipes to communicate signals should only be enabled if
 * the child is a Java process OR if we are on Windoze.
