I've checked this out, it looks like a good idea which I could build
further on.

I've just noticed that os.fork is not available on Win32. Ouch.

Does that mean there is _no_ way for a single Python program to use
multiple CPU/core systems on Windows? (other than writing an extension
module in C (which is completely unacceptable for me!))
