 From what I recall, 'fork' in Linux is not all that bad to use.
Direct from wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_(operating_system)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork-exec

I've never had to implement fork, but from reading about it, it doesn't 
seem too bad.

While not exactly what you were looking for, I hope this helps some.
