fork() not working on windows machines

[causa-prima]

Ruby does not provide fork() under windows. I worked arround that by replacing the call to fork() in line 18 of poor_mans_capture3.rb with Process.spawn(*cmd) and deleting line 23 (exec(*cmd)). As I'm not a ruby-programmer I don't know if this might introduce other problems. Are there any you could think of? Or is this a valid approach and you should use that instead of using fork()?

Cool, feel free to fork and test it! If it works, do a PR, and I'll ask a colleague who knows more Ruby than me to review it when possible. :)

I have the same issue. If you can't fix the problem, could you state in the README that windows is not supported ?
