VMProcess implementation

[Archie Cobbs]

Hi,

As promised here is a patch that implements java.lang.Process in
Classpath.  I've taken the JC implementation and rejiggered it in
an attempt to fix the bugs described in
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11801

The basic idea is we have a single dedicated thread that does all of
the spawning and reaping of child processes. This thread is created
and destroyed on demand in this implementation.

Note that this work is incomplete in the sense that it has not been
tested at all. I've only verified that it compiles when applied to
classpath-0.08. (I couldn't get the CVS head to compile because I
got lost in the autoswamp).

However, I'd appreciate a "look over" by those familiar with the
issues around this class, or better yet actually try to run it and
see what happens.

Thanks,
-Archie
