OSProcess will not work without the OSProcessPlugin. AFAIK no one has
tried this yet (including me - sorry I've been quite busy lately).

If you are compiling your own COG VM, then load OSProcessPlugin from

be (pleasantly) surprised if it works the first time without modifications,
so consider it pre-alpha at this point.
