Look at vm/reference/java/lang/VMProcess.java, and its JNI
implementation in native/jni/java-lang/java_lang_VMProcess.c.

I tried an implementation based on this and the current PosixProcess,
and it does work as expected (and is really trivial to implement). I
haven't come up with a patch yet because I'm not sure how to port the
Win32 implementation over.
