/**

 Child process invocation, monitoring and control.
 <li><b>General usage and features:</b></li>
 This class allows a KDE application to start child processes without having
 to worry about UNX signal handling issues and zombie process reaping.
 Basically, this class distinguishes three different ways of running
 child processes:

	<li>
	DontCare -- The child process is invoked and both the child
	 process and the parent process continue concurrently.
	</li>
	 The process is started in an own session (see setsid(2)).

	<li>
	NotifyOnExit -- The child process is invoked and both the
	 child and the parent process run concurrently.
	</li>
	 When the child process exits, the TDEProcess instance
 corresponding to it emits the Qt signal processExited().
 Since this signal is <b>not</b> emitted from within a UNX
 signal handler, arbitrary function calls can be made.
 Be aware: When the TDEProcess object gets destructed, the child
 process will be killed if it is still running!
 This means in particular, that it usually makes no sense to use
 a TDEProcess on the stack with NotifyOnExit.

	<li>
	OwnGroup -- like NotifyOnExit, but the child process is started
	 in an own process group (and an own session, FWIW). The behavior of
	 kill() changes to killing the whole process group - this makes
	 this mode useful for implementing primitive job management. It can be
	 used to work around broken wrapper scripts that don't propagate signals
	 to the "real" program. However, use this with care, as you disturb the
	 shell's job management if your program is started from the command line.
	</li>

	<li>
	Block -- The child process starts and the parent process
	 is suspended until the child process exits. (<b>Really</b> not recommended
	 for programs with a GUI.)
	 In this mode the parent can read the child's output, but can't send it any
	 input.
	</li>
	 TDEProcess also provides several functions for determining the exit status
 and the pid of the child process it represents.
 Furthermore it is possible to supply command-line arguments to the process
 in a clean fashion (no null-terminated stringlists and such...)
 A small usage example:
 <pre>
   TDEProcess proc = new TDEProcess;
   proc << "my_executable";
   proc << "These" << "are" << "the" << "command" << "line" << "args";
   TQApplication.connect(proc, TQ_SIGNAL("processExited(TDEProcess )"),
                         pointer_to_my_object, TQ_SLOT("my_objects_slot(TDEProcess )"));
   proc.start();
 </pre>
 This will start "my_executable" with the commandline arguments "These"...
 When the child process exits, the slot will be invoked.
 <li><b>Communication with the child process:</b></li>
 TDEProcess supports communication with the child process through
 stdin/stdout/stderr.
 The following functions are provided for getting data from the child
 process or sending data to the child's stdin (For more information,
 have a look at the documentation of each function):

	<li>
	writeStdin()
	  -- Transmit data to the child process' stdin. When all data was sent, the
	 signal wroteStdin() is emitted.
	</li>

	<li>
	When data arrives at stdout or stderr, the signal receivedStdout()
	 resp. receivedStderr() is emitted.
	</li>

	<li>
	You can shut down individual communication channels with
	 closeStdin(), closeStdout(), and closeStderr(), resp.
	</li>
