pidwait_add(pid)
Adds `pid' to the list of processes to wait for. The pid must identify
a child process of the irssi process. When the process terminates, a
"pidwait" signal will be sent with the pid and the status from
waitpid(). This is useful to avoid zombies if your script forks.
pidwait_remove(pid)
Removes `pid' from the list of processes to wait for. Terminated
processes are removed automatically, so it is usually not necessary
to call this function.
