We keep talking about EXEC_BACKEND mode, though until recently I had misunderstood what that meant. I also realised that I have more than once neglected to take it into account when writing a patch - one recent patch failed to do this.
I can't find anything coherent in docs/readme/comments to explain why it exists and what its implications are. The why is "Windows", AFAICS, but the full implications are far from clear in my blissful, mostly Window-less world. Can someone either point me to or write a coherent explanation of this, so that we can add it to the code somewhere handy? I want to make sure that everything I'm working on covers the main points the first time I wrote code.
