No. fork() needs MP (if you think this isn't true, then you don't know
how fork() words and I suggest that you shut up, ok ? ;-). We might
be able to implement vfork() but then, this is really not necessary.
Just use the new ixemul_exec() that can do the job and probably better
(well, if we find the lurking bug and Tao fixes the flush() bug).

You could disassemble and write a header for it :-) ? That seems to be
"how it should be done" as far I could figure from the inofficial examples
uploaded on the FTP server.

So you would rather reinvent the wheel and duplicate our work for
nothing ? Fine with me. :-)
