No, not at all. There are some issues with this module, both regards the
API and the implementation, which I'm not happy with. I tried to establish
a discussion with Trent about this, but if I remember correctly, I never
recieved a response.

Here's some things which I'm not happy with:

* There are three different "factory" classes: Process, ProcessOpen,
ProcessProxy. I have only one, covering all cases. I think three different
classes are confusing to users. Even I have trouble understanding the
difference between them.

* The code size is very large. The code is complex.

* Trent's module always executes things through the shell, and deals with
every ugly cornercase that comes from this.

* The modules uses destructors, which I'm usually avoiding.


So, the chances of getting our modules API-compatible are very small.
