A note for Windows users

Avoid using any of the `os.exec*` functions on Windows. There's no
support for replacing a Windows process image, so the `exec*()`
functions simply spawn a child process and terminate the current one.
This is a mess in general because a waiting parent isn't aware of the
spawned descendant. It's particularly bad for a console process that
inherits the console session, since two processes will try to use
console I/O simultaneously.
