Windows and OSX Test
new parameter "dec_hard_timeout" for windows

Refractored and Cleaned

Final New Version 1.0.7

• pickle detection fixed
• added some tests
• codecov now correctly combining the coverage of all tests

• fix error on detection if the wrapped object is pickable
• drop python 2.6 support, since wrapt dropped it

If we are not able to use signals, we need to spawn a new process.
This was done in the past by pickling the target function and put it on a queue -
now this is done with a half-duplex pipe.

• it is faster
• it probably can work on Amazon AWS, since there You must not use queues

Signals can only be used in the main thread. If the decorator is running in a subthread,
we automatically disable signals.

Now using multiprocess and dill instead of multiprocessing and pickle -
this makes the decorator more useful under windows, since dill can pickle much more objects then pickle itself.

dill can pickle the following standard types:

none, type, bool, int, long, float, complex, str, unicode,
tuple, list, dict, file, buffer, builtin,
both old and new style classes,
instances of old and new style classes,
set, frozenset, array, functions, exceptions

dill can also pickle more 'exotic' standard types:
functions with yields, nested functions, lambdas
cell, method, unboundmethod, module, code, methodwrapper,
dictproxy, methoddescriptor, getsetdescriptor, memberdescriptor,
wrapperdescriptor, xrange, slice,
notimplemented, ellipsis, quit
