We need anoter way. The system that MSVC gives us (me egocentric, yes
:-) has completely different return codes than the POSIX one. That's why
the client tests on Win32 were (are) failing.

Would something like synchronous spawnlp, or fork + execlp if spawnlp
isn't available, be O.K.? I volunteer to provide such for Unix and
Win32. Pity that APR doean't have something like that, though ...
