It works on windows only. I wrote this package, because with OSProcess you 
can't access the started process' standard streams on windows (it works on 
other platforms). ProcessWrapper could be ported to other platforms, but 
fixing OSProcess on windows would be better IMHO.

If you just want to start a new process and don't want to communicate with 
it via the standard streams, then you can also use OSProcess, FFI or 
SystemPlugin from BYOB on windows.
