I'm not entirely sure how to make the interface, though. Any good
suggestions?

I suggest to model finish_async_nowait() after waitpid() so that

       while ((pid = waitpid(-1, &status, WNOHANG)) > 0) ...
becomes
       while ((pid = finish_async_nowait(&some_async, &status)) > 0) ...

but where the resulting status is already "decoded", i.e. zero is success and
non-zero is failure (including death through signal); WIFEXITED and
WEXITSTATUS should not be applicable to status anymore.

Thanks. Implemented as suggested for the next round.
