So this returns a handle to the process instead ?
I suppose this exists for apps that want the process, not for apps that can't 
get a handle to a DLL. 
I am not sure if this is always sufficiently equivalent to work for whatever 
the app needs it for .. I hope this doesn't create downstream problems that we 
need to fix.
