add --daemon option to serve command. for issue 45.
code looks odd because it is portable to windows. windows does not have
os.fork, so have to spawn and use pipe to tell parent ready instead.

def demandload(scope, modules):
    class d:
        def __getattr__(self, name):
            mod = self.__dict__["mod"]
            scope = self.__dict__["scope"]
            scope[mod] = __import__(mod, scope, scope, [])
            return getattr(scope[mod], name)

    for m in modules.split():
        dl = d()
        dl.mod = m
        dl.scope = scope
        scope[m] = dl
