I like the idea of testing for fork() and making sure it works.  The only
part I disagree with is the #define of fork to vfork.  The latest version
appears to correct that, so I think the patch is now reasonable.  If
you're only using fork to spawn processes, you can check for HAVE_FORK and
HAVE_VFORK and use vfork instead.
