FYI, the OSProcess package gives access to heavyweight processes,
and currently supports only Unix type systems. For example, you can
"fork" a clone of a Squeak process in a separate operating system
process, with completely separate address space.
OSProcess does not give access to a threads package. I could probably
add this, but to be honest I don't know that it would be very useful;
I think this is mostly an academic debate.
