Excellent, that mean that running an external program and getting
its exit status works with the basic mechanism of polling for exit
status. The event-driven signal forwarding probably is not working
yet, but that is the subject of the pthread-aware issue, which may
or may not be fixed by the update to OSPP for pthreads.

This would be from platforms/unix/sqUnixMain.c, which make these
available to plugins as follows:

int main(int argc, char **argv, char **envp)
{
  /* Make parameters global for access from plugins */
  argCnt= argc;
  argVec= argv;
  envVec= envp;


These would not be in the Mac OS sources, hence symbol not found.
