Details:

This was discussed in

fork() for microsoft windows (native but not Cygwin).

http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/fork-for-microsoft-windows-native-but-not-Cygwin-td4676646.html

and
 
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?41148

fork() is not implemented on native windows due to lack of fork function C and
C++ on windows platform. 
It is well known Cygwin implements fork using win32 api and have long history
to improve implementation.

Perlfork also emulates fork() at the level of the Perl program.
http://docs.activestate.com/activeperl/5.8/lib/pods/perlfork.html

I am not a programmer so that I do not know to implement fork is really needed
and reasonable.

So this is my own weak wish. But I register the topic to the tracker to
memorize with the tag number.
