+ * This code manages child processes. We can communicate with child
+ * processes using signals. Because signals are not supported on W32
+ * and Java (at least not nicely), we can alternatively use a pipe
+ * to send signals to the child processes (if the child process is
+ * a full-blown GNUnet process that supports reading signals from
+ * a pipe, of course). Naturally, this also only works for 'normal'
+ * termination via signals, and not as a replacement for SIGKILL.
+ * Thus using pipes to communicate signals should only be enabled if
+ * the child is a Java process OR if we are on Windoze.
