[phobos] Suggestions for std.process

[Lars Tandle Kyllingstad]

I don't know any way of doing this besides spawning a separate thread 
that a) starts the process, b) waits for it to complete, and c) calls 
the callback function/delegate.

Is this what you had in mind?

Assuming that improving it currently isn't at the top of the to-do list for Phobos, I decided not to wait, and rather to write my own version.  If you want you can check it out here:
