-uses the R package `subprocess`. Currently the windows version of this
-package uses blocking pipes when it instantiates a process. This causes 
-issues with firefox/geckodriver when called from selenium. A "shim" is 
-required as the stderr pipe is blocking and firefox/geckodriver waits for 
-the pipe to free.

-An example of implementing this shim for windows can be seen in the 
-[Rselenium](https://github.com/ropensci/RSelenium) package. The 
-`rsDriver` function currently implements such a shim. It basically 
-clears the error pipe so the firefox/geckodriver can finish its startup.
