There's been talk in the past about this but no one has contributed such a 
wrapper AFAIK.  In terms of the calls you refer to, I assume you'd want to 
use spawn() and friends in POSIX-land and CreateProcess() and friends in 
Win32-land.  However, if I were doing this, I would consider just scripting 
this.
