shows the downside to blocking system calls. Perhaps someone else will be just as peeved as i was at the lack of speed doing that, and build on news.ex as i did, but have some way to make system() nonblocking.
I feel that having a non-blocking system()/system_exec() is a must! On Unix we can already do this by changing system[_exec](s,i) to system[_exec](s&" &",i) but we should have a cross platform method of achieving this.
