One issue that we ran into in the ObjC NSTask is setting the current working 
directory in the child process. We worked around the lack of an API for that by 
using per-thread working directories, which is kind of awful. I'm not up to 
date on what the best approach to use for this on Linux would be; it sounds 
like clone() can do it, but I don't know if that's exposed at the posix_spawn 
level at all.
