This patch of mine is wrong. WIFEXITED means the child terminated 
normally. It has nothing to do with the child's actual return value 
(this would be returned by the WEXITSTATUS macro). As far as I know, 
WIFEXITED, like WIFSIGNALED, has no counterpart on Windows. I'll update 
my patch to reflect that.
