I will defer to Stefan and Yidong for the decision.  Personally, I
think having a function with the same name on two different source
files will make maintenance a tad harder than it is when they are on
the same file.

A long time ago I had plans to implement async subprocesses for the
MS-DOS port, and OTOH didn't dare to futz with non-MSDOS sources.

Thanks, I fixed this now (by reusing the similar definitions in
process.c).
