yet_another_process_library

A library for launching processes, very heavily based on tiny-process-library. It shares much of the code with it, to the point it could be yet another fork of it.

However, it's not, due to having incompatible interface. Notably:

• Boost.Filesystem is a required dependency.
• it launches processes directly, without using shell as a mediator.
