std.process is woefully unmaintained.  Lars K is developing a new version,  
and I am really really late getting a windows version to him so it can be  
included in phobos.  It includes simple methods to create a sub-process,  
which should solve your issue.

I think this shall be my next "Spare time" project for D.  Sorry about  
this, Lars.
