Description:

The package provides fork, wait, wait2, waitpid and waitpid2 for Win32 systems. It also provides an alternative kill method.

Changes for 0.3.1
=================
- Modified Process.fork to return an actual PID instead of a handle. This means that it should work with Process.kill and other methods that expect an actual PID.
- Modified Process.kill to understand the strings "SIGINT", "INT", "SIGBRK", "BRK", "SIGKILL" and "KILL". These correspond to signals 2, 3 and 9, respectively.
- Replaced all instances of rb_sys_fail(0) with rb_raise(). This is because of a strange bug in the Windows Installer that hasn't been nailed down yet. This means that you can't rescue Errno::ENOENT any more, but will have to rescue StandardError. This only affects Process.kill.
- The signals that were formerly 1 and 2 and now 2 and 3. I did this because I wanted the same signal number for SIGINT as it is on *nix.
- Added a test_kill.rb script under the examples directory.
- Other minor cleanup and corrections.
