GMAKE should support a /NOWAIT/ option for recipe commands. This option should report the completion code of the process start but not wait on the completion of the process.
It might be good to modify the list of children to support maintaining the list of background processes there as pHandles. This would be critical when collecting results during normal command execution in the case of a PROC_DEATH message arriving from a different process than the one being run.
We should ensure that behaviour for /NOWAIT/ is complaint with how GNU Make handles background process death.
