Another option would be to use a cross platform app layer wrapper (base stuff, not gui) that handles the pain for us. OpenFrameworks, for instance, uses Poco which greatly eases threading, etc between Windows & Unix. Of course, it's a C++ library, so that's probably a different story with the Pd core ...
For instance, here's the Poco Process class: http://pocoproject.org/docs/Poco.Process.html
