This subprocess object sends/receives data to/from any UNIX
subprocess asynchronously (via vfork/pipe).
Its delegate, if any, will receive the following messages:
- subprocessDone;
// sent when the subprocess exits
- subprocessOutput:(char *)buffer;
// sent whenever there is data on the standard output pipe;
// buffer is only valid until next call
- subprocessError:(const char *)errorString;
// sent when an error occurs;
// if it ever happens, it's usually only at startup time
