-= Description
-  This library provides analogues of the :getpriority, :setpriority, :getrlimit,
-  :setrlimit and :uid methods for MS Windows. It also adds the new methods :job?,

-= Prerequisites
-  * ffi
-  * sys-proctable (dev only)
-  * test-unit 2 (dev only)

-= Developer's Notes
-== Removal of Process.fork in release 0.7.0
-   The Process.fork method was originally experimental but it has never
-   been particularly useful in practice. On top of that, it required special
-   implementations of the Process.waitXXX methods, so it was a maintenance
-   issue as well.
-   
-   With Ruby 1.9 now becoming standard and its addition of Process.spawn
-   and friends (and concomitant support for the Process.waitXXX methods) I
-   felt it was time to remove it.
-
-   You can still simulate Process.fork if you like using Process.create, which
-   is how it was implemented internally anyway. A better solution might be
-   to follow in the footsteps of ActiveState Perl, which uses native threads
-   to simulate fork on Windows.
-	
-== Changes in the custom Process.kill method for 0.7.0
-   The Process.kill method in 0.7.0 more closely matches the spec now, but
-   the internal method for killing processes is still nicer for most signals.
-   With the release of 0.7.0 users can now specify options that provide finer
-   control over how a process is killed. See the documentation for details. 
-
-== The removal of the custom Process.ppid method
-   This was added at some point in the Ruby 1.9 dev cycle so it was removed
-   from this library.

-    # There are several primary keys:

-    # * command_line     (this or app_name must be present)
-    # * app_name         (default: nil)
-    # * inherit          (default: false)
-    # * process_inherit  (default: false)
-    # * thread_inherit   (default: false)
-    # * creation_flags   (default: 0)
-    # * cwd              (default: Dir.pwd)

-    # * domain           (default: nil)
-    # * password         (default: nil, mandatory if with_logon)
-    #
-    # Of these, the 'command_line' or 'app_name' must be specified or an
-    # error is raised. Both may be set individually, but 'command_line' should
-    # be preferred if only one of them is set because it does not (necessarily)
-    # require an explicit path or extension to work.
-    #
-    # The 'domain' and 'password' options are only relevent in the context
-    # of 'with_logon'. If 'with_logon' is set, then the 'password' option is
-    # mandatory.
-    #
-    # The startup_info key takes a hash. Its keys are attributes that are
-    # part of the StartupInfo struct, and are generally only meaningful for
-    # GUI or console processes. See the documentation on CreateProcess()
-    # and the StartupInfo struct on MSDN for more information.

-    # IO objects or file descriptors (i.e. a fileno). However, StringIO objects
-    # are not currently supported. Unfortunately, setting these is not currently
-    # an option for JRuby.
-    #
-    # If 'stdin', 'stdout' or 'stderr' are specified, then the +inherit+ value
-    # is automatically set to true and the Process::STARTF_USESTDHANDLES flag is
-    # automatically OR'd to the +startf_flags+ value.

-    # * process_id     - Process ID.
-    # * thread_id      - Thread ID.

-    # If the 'close_handles' option is set to true (the default) then the
-    # process_handle and the thread_handle are automatically closed for you
-    # before the ProcessInfo struct is returned.

-    # executable file in the security context of the specified credentials.

+    # * app_name         (default: nil)

+    #
+    # Of these, the 'command_line' or 'app_name' must be specified or an
+    # error is raised. Both may be set individually, but 'command_line' should
+    # be preferred if only one of them is set because it does not (necessarily)
+    # require an explicit path or extension to work.

+    # The 'domain' and 'password' options are only relevent in the context
+    # of 'with_logon'. If 'with_logon' is set, then the 'password' option is
+    # mandatory.
+    #
+    # The startup_info key takes a hash. Its keys are attributes that are
+    # part of the StartupInfo struct, and are generally only meaningful for

+    #
+    # Internally, signals 2 and 3 will generate a console control event, using

+    # :exit_proc  => The name of the exit function called when signal 1 or 4-8

+    #
+    # :dll_module => The name of the .dll (or .exe) that contains :exit_proc.
+    #                The default is 'kernel32'.
+    #
+    # :wait_time  => The time, in milliseconds, to wait for the process to
+    #                actually die. The default is 5ms. If you specify 0 here
+    #                then the process does not wait if the process is not
+    #                signaled and instead returns immediately. Alternatively,
