Subject: fork() is not available on Windows
fork() is used in Dist::Zilla::App::Command::perltidy::execute(). Perl on Windows crashes at the point fork() is called.

Why is this marked 'rejected'? this looks to be a legitimate issue.

I thought that it was another reason. I found that it worked fine on another Windows machine running Strawberry Perl 5.18.0. And I saw that the CPAN Testers report included successful tests on Windows. So fork() on Windows is not the problem per se. Where I found this bug, it was running on ActivePerl 5.16.3.
