Summary: Support JobObject functions

Initial Comment:
JobObject functions are very useful.

The basic usage is:
CreateJobObject
CreateProcess   suspended
AddProcessToJobObject
ResumeThread

Then the child process you started belongs to the job,
as well as any processes the child process starts
(the property of belonging to a job is inherited).

You can then kill the child process AND all 
grandchildren etc. using
TerminateJobObject.

This is very similar to the *nix world.

  CreateJobObject
  TerminateJobObject
