/**
* Forks, execs, and waits for a subordinate program
*
* @param argv Null-terminated argument vector; argv[0] is the program
* (same as arguments to execvp())
*
* @param status Upon success, will be filled with the return status
* from waitpid(2). The WIF* macros can be used to examine the value
* (see waitpid(2)).
*
* @retval OPAL_SUCCESS If the child launched and exited.
* @retval OPAL_ERR_IN_ERRNO If a failure occurred, errno should be
* examined for the specific error.
*
* This function forks, execs, and waits for an executable to
* complete. The input argv must be a NULL-terminated array (perhaps
* built with the opal_arr_*() interface). Upon success, OPAL_SUCCESS
* is returned. This function will wait either until the child
* process has exited or waitpid() returns an error other than EINTR.
*
* Note that a return of OPAL_SUCCESS does \em not imply that the child
* process exited successfully -- it simply indicates that the child
* process exited. The WIF* macros (see waitpid(2)) should be used to
* examine the status to see hold the child exited.
*
* \warning This function should not be called if \c orte_init()
* or \c MPI_Init() have been called. This function is not
* safe in a multi-threaded environment in which a handler
* for \c SIGCHLD has been registered.
