+/**
+ *  Blocking version of TDEProcess, which stores the stdout.
+ *  Differences between start(TDEProcess::Block, TDEProcess::StdOut) and this
+ *  class are:
+ *  - the GUI update is not blocked why the external process is running
+ *  - in case of problems there is a timeout (defaults to 60 seconds), after which the 
+ *    process is terminated.
+ *  - the stdout is caught - it the caller request it - and can be read by the caller
