🚀 go-pugleaf

I have a function like this in my MJFSecurity suite.  I have a pair of
components that talk to each other and a helper application.  The main
application launches the helper, the helper waits for the main exe to close
after being told the helper is available.  The helper then applies the patch
file and the main exe is launched again.
