   Martin, I implemented the functions rw_process_create() and 
rw_process_join():

--------------------------------------
typedef long rw_pid_t;

// returns pid of the created process
// returns -1 if failed
// note: argv[0] should be equal to path
_TEST_EXPORT rw_pid_t
rw_process_create (const char* path, char* const argv []);

// returns pid of the specified process
// returns -1 if failed
// result is a pointer to a buffer where the result code
// of the specified process will be stored, or NULL
_TEST_EXPORT rw_pid_t
rw_process_join (rw_pid_t pid, int* result);
--------------------------------------

   The diff files is attached. What do you think about this?

Farid.
