I understand what you mean, but also understand that making such cross-platform object would require a large amount of effort or at least a group of people that can contribute for the different OSs out there.
The fun side of being open source is also this one. As Ive said before I can try to help with this object from 16th up, but even so I'd never would do it for Windows, simply because I have no interest in it :) But once again, the beauty of open source is that if a thing is readable enough and easily extensible, it then can be altered to fit more operating systems. (beware that the differences between OSs will show at some point... that's something to consider*).
* i.e.: I have no clue on how to run a process on the background of the shell in Win. Nor how to kill a process, and so forth...
