Instead directly call execvp(). This change is needed for the
soon-to-be-added signal handlers because the /bin/sh parent process does not
pass all signals to it's children, particularly SIGUSR1 on Linux.
The parameters of createChildProcess had to be changed slightly.
utils.exec() also has a changed implementation. A bug involving quoted
arguments was knowingly introduced into utils.exec(). Will fix later.
include() should not be used by libraries because it will pollute the global
namespace. To discourage this behavior and bring Node more in-line with
the current CommonJS module system, include() is removed.
Small scripts like unit tests often times do want to pollute the global
namespace for ease. To avoid the boiler plate code of
var x = require("/x.js");
var foo = x.foo;
var bar = x.bar;
The function node.mixin() is stolen from jQuery's jQuery.extend. So that it
can be written:
node.mixin(require("/x.js"));
