Do you know that, in theory, it is possible to implement COW fork in 
Windows NT, using NT API (NtCreateProcess)?
Unfortunately this API is not public, but it is used by Microsoft to 
implement their Win32, Posix and OS/2 subsystems.

This is easily solved if there is a separate maintainer of the win32 port.

Again, this can be done by the win32 port maintainer, on a separate 
mailing list.



Just my two cents.
