wx_execute ( sequence command, integer flag )

flag can be a combination of:

• wxEXEC_ASYNC: execute the process asynchronously
• wxEXEC_SYNC: execute it synchronously, i.e. wait until it finishes
• wxEXEC_NOHIDE: under Windows, don't hide the child even if it's IO is redirected (this is done by default)
• wxEXEC_MAKE_GROUP_LEADER: under Unix, if the process is the group leader then killing -pid kills all children as well as pid
