NtCreateProcess with SectionHandler=NULL does a fork()-like copy-on-write thing. But it is an internal kernel api.
I just did some googling on this, and it seems to be described as "undocumented". Does this mean that it's possible to call it from userland, just that it's not guaranteed to exist in the future?
If so, it looks like it might be possible to give Python a fork() that works on Windows, at least for the time being.
