spawning sub-processes (runtime)

Spawn is a small OCaml library exposing only one functionality: spawning sub-process.

It has three main goals:

 1. provide missing features of Unix.create_process such as providing
    a working directory
 2. provide better errors when a system call fails in the
    sub-process. For instance if a command is not found, you get a
    proper [Unix.Unix_error] exception
 3. improve performance by using vfork when available. It is often
    claimed that nowadays fork is as fast as vfork, however in
    practice fork takes time proportional to the process memory while
    vfork is constant time. In application using a lot of memory,
    vfork can be thousands of times faster than fork.

This package contains runtime files.
