This example runs the "find" command on unix systems, and the "forfiles" command
on windows systems, then displays filenames one by one.
The user is then prompted ; she can either press the enter key to display the
next filename, or enter "q" to stop.
Note that the AsynchronousCommand class allows us to retrieve command output
as soon as it arrives ; we definitely do not have to wait for the end of the
command execution to do that.

// class is platform-independent.

// the same purpose on windows systems, this is why we will run something approximate,
// such as FORFILES.EXE).

// again if the command is running. If true, then we can try to read the next lines of
// command output.
// Such a construct (nested loops) is useful when you have to run commands that take
