[issue9148] os.execve puts process to background on windows

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

This looks like the answer to the cygwin question, assuming things haven't changed:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-developers/2001-02/msg00106.html

Basically, it does the same thing as Python, except that a special return code is reported by the execing process to signal to whoever created the execing process that an exec has occurred.

Would it be at all useful to add such a return code?
