+// Function: ExecWait ()

+// Description:
+//  This function executes a program with the specified arguments and
+//  environment.  It then waits for the progarm to termiante and then returns
+//  to the caller.
+//
+// Inputs:
+//  argv - The arguments to the program as an array of C strings.  The first
+//         argument should be the name of the program to execute, and the
+//         last argument should be a pointer to NULL.
+//
+//  envp - The environment passes to the program as an array of C strings in
+//         the form of "name=value" pairs.  The last element should be a
+//         pointer to NULL.
+//
+// Outputs:
+//  None.
+//
+// Return value:
+//  0 - No errors.
+//  1 - The program could not be executed.
+//  1 - The program returned a non-zero exit status.
+//  1 - The program terminated abnormally.
+//
+// Notes:
+//  The program will inherit the stdin, stdout, and stderr file descriptors
+//  as well as other various configuration settings (umask).
+//
+//  This function should not print anything to stdout/stderr on its own.  It is
+//  a generic library function.  The caller or executed program should report
+//  errors in the way it sees fit.
