### Issues with Windows and Firefox/GeckoDriver

To run the binaries related to the Selenium/webdriver projects `wdman`
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.

## Further details
