/**
 * Destroys a process running for too long. For example:
 *
 * <pre>
 * ExecuteWatchdog watchdog = new ExecuteWatchdog(30000);
 * Executer exec = new Executer(myloghandler, watchdog);
 * exec.setCommandLine(mycmdline);
 * int exitvalue = exec.execute();
 * if (Execute.isFailure(exitvalue) &amp;&amp; watchdog.killedProcess()) {
 *     // it was killed on purpose by the watchdog
 * }
 * </pre>
 *
 * When starting an asynchronous process than 'ExecuteWatchdog' is the
 * keeper of the process handle. In some cases it is useful not to define
 * a timeout (and pass 'INFINITE_TIMEOUT') and to kill the process explicitly
 * using 'destroyProcess()'.
 * <p>
 * Please note that ExecuteWatchdog is processed asynchronously, e.g. it might
 * be still attached to a process even after the DefaultExecutor.execute 
 * has returned.
