From 233980622f09bd51d2b7bf90f8371cd307e18ea6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Lukas Fleischer <calcurse@cryptocrack.de>
Date: Fri, 1 Jul 2011 15:45:11 +0200
Subject: Refactor wins_launch_external()

* Do window preparation and restoring in separate functions
  wins_prepare_external() and wins_unprepare_external().

* Use fork_exec() and child_wait() instead of system().
