+== Process Starter
+
+A gem for Ruby 1.8 to start process in parallel, 1) don't wait for it 
+finish 2) dont inherit io file handles 3) both in windows/linux. Ruby 1.9 
+dont need it because it has spawn method.
+
+== Usage
+
+ProcessStarter.start("somecmd arg1 arg2")
+
+will invoke 'somecmd' with command line arg1 arg2.
+
+ProcessStarter.allowed_methods = [:psexec,:start,:spawn,:fork]
+
+specify which methods are allowed to start the process. So we have psexec 
+(if found on the target machine) and 'cmd /c start ...' for windows,
+and spawn (if in ruby 1.9) or fork in linux. This is the default,
+but you can redefine it, for example
+ProcessStarter.allowed_methods = [:start,:fork]
+
+Also you can set allowed methods in command call:
+
+ProcessStarter.start("somecmd arg1 arg2",[:start,:fork])
+
+This overrides ProcessStarter.allowed_methods values.
+
+== How to install
+
+gem install process_starter
+
+== Ruby versions
+Useful for Ruby 1.8, not so useful for Ruby 1.9
+
+== Todo
+
+* Add 'win32/process' start method.
+* Fix posix-spawn method (turned off at the moment).
+
+== Changelog
+
+
+== Legal
