A wrapper around fork/exec, CreateProcess, etc. to allow launching child processes with arguments. This will make running an application with a server-client architecture (similar to the original Quake) easier.
It's not too much code to do this by oneself, but it'll be good to have a battle-tested version available in SDL (especially given the subtle differences across various platforms).
If we come to abstract this, if that could also include a facility to create communication channels between parent and child (socket pair under unixes and named pipes for windows) as it's a so common model...
