Description
There are two interesting candidates for this:
Probably NuProcess is the better established of the two. jnr-process seems to expose a lower-level API. Suffice to say, both need a closer look, particularly at the threading model.
Similar to UnixSockets, we can add one of these as an optional dependency, and use reflection to try and detect it at runtime, otherwise falling back to the blocking JDK APIs.
