+Subject: [PATCH] add support for nommu systems
+
+Rather than hardcode the WIN32 define, add proper fork checks to the
+configure script and check those.  This fixes building for nommu systems
+which lack the fork function.
+
+While we're here though, add support for this functionality via vfork
+so that it does work on nommu systems.  And fix an old bug where we
+exit properly in the forked child when the exec failed instead of just
+returning to the calling code (which isn't expecting it).
