Subject: tests hang on Windows
Tests of your module hang on Windows. I can provide more verbose information if necessary. If your module cannot work on Windows at all, you can die in Makefile.PL/Build.PL. See http://wiki.cpantesters.org/wiki/CPANAuthorNotes for how to do this. -- Alexandr Ciornii, http://chorny.net
I've disabled the tests on Win32, because although the tests should work, windows is a bit weird with fork/pipe/dup.

I've also reduced the code a bit, in the hope I've deleted the bits that were the most bogus, and the hope is it works on win32, but the tests are still disabled on win32 till I get a better chance to see whats going on on win32 and work out a more long term solution.

I've hopefully gotten this to work now on Win32.

Win32 users will still have to manually install Win32::Job to make Win32 Support work, because I'm loathe to patch Build.PL and META.* doesn't natively support conditional dependencies.
