specify a different user for a command #16

It would be useful to be able to run the command as a different user/group:

status = systemu date, 'stdout' => stdout, 'stderr' => stderr, 'user' => 'foo', 'group' => 'foo'

You're using nix semantics here. systemu's main purpose is to provide a cross-platform capabilities. I'm pretty sure that it's easier to wrap your command line on a nix (with a sudo -U prefix for example) than to hack systemu with an abstraction that will also serve Windows.

That's true, I did neglect to think about windows there.
