wellmap command line script does not work on windows

[ajasja]

The os.fork command is not available on windows, so the command line utility does not work

$ wellmap layout.toml 
Traceback (most recent call last):

I just saw the --foreground option. That works, and I can even lunch it with
wellmap layout.toml --foreground &
To get it in the background :)

The library looks awesome by the way!

I'm glad you found the workaround, but I should probably tweak the script so that it doesn't crash in the first place. I'll keep this issue open until I get around to that.

Thanks! One temporary fix would be to just have --foreground be the default behaviour on windows.
