What I've been trying to understand and why I asked my questions is whether you think we need POSIX- and Windows-classes and -functions which would require a library user to use conditional compilation.

I ask as a final decision whether we want library users to choose between a generic API, a Windows API and a POSIX API via conditional compilation could at least make future discussions easier.

Generic API at least to start. We already have platform-specific APIs; the highest value for Boost.Process will be support for portable code to execute a child process.
