What is the plan for Windows support?

I am not planning to add that. What I have found, is that tools that try to provide the same API for all platforms do not end up doing well or they limit the specific benefits of each custom platform. I

Sorry...shortcut sent email before I finished it.

I am not planning to add that. What I have found, is that tools that try to provide the same API for all platforms do not end up doing well or they limit the specific benefits of each custom platform. I very much prefer the approach used by GitFileTree and others. That is... AT YOUR APPLICATION level, you check wether you are on windows or not. If you are under Linux/OSX, then you may want to use OSProcess / OSSubprocess. And if you are in windows, then you may want to use ProcessWrapper. A simple IF or a strategy or whatever that calls the right API. That way you can customize the code for each platform better.

Finally, again, if someone wants a unified API, then I don't think it should be at OSProcess / OSSubprocess level. I would write an API that internally calls either ProcessWrapper or OS(Sub)Process. But I wouldn't use that API as mentioned above.
