So, after all that, I looked in standard library header file for process.h and found function prototypes for the various spawn functions. Would it make sense to add support for "spawnvp" and "spawnvpe" to posixmodule.c? Should it be guarded by the existing HAVESPAWNV, new HAVESPAWNVP, or by MSWINDOWS definitions?

Adding a HAVE_SPAWNVP would be most appropriate, IMO.
