I have, and you can typically just load one from disk instead of your resource file, if you need one. Whether or not that's acceptable is up to the programmer in question.

And this constant blather of yours about third party libraries is wearing a little thin... really... you're starting to sound like a script-kiddie... You claim to be a Windows programmer yet you assiduously avoid any contact with the operating system itself... It just doesn't make any sense to me.
Although why there is no simple create_process in Linux is still beyond me...
