It's fine if they diverge when necessary.  It's not fair to overload functions
with two different meanings for two platforms :-)  Let me play with the
RegisterWait*() API in Win32 and see if we can't register that other child
handle to invoke the registered callback upon death.  We might even end
up -cleaner- than the Unix implementation, without the need for extra
polling in the MPM :-)
