Actually, I finished most of it, what remains is mainly blocking Geany
while the new async tools execution is running.

Sync spawning is not good, because I'm using the Geany message loop for
async I/O (somewhat similar to g_main_context_add_poll), not real Win32
events and threads as GLib does.

Locking the file, as Matthew suggested, will not be sufficient: one can
still close it, reload it, and of course change the selection
(SCI docs assume close/reload are be blocked for background saving).

What remains, without going too deep, is a modal dialog. Annoying, of
course, but with the benefit that you can easily stop a bad process.

I may have missed it but why have it blocking if async spawn now works? The current build process (on Linux) doesn't block either.

Best regards
