Daemonize. This should call installDaemonLogger(). Returns
true iff successful. \c name is the name of the daemon.
Once daemonized, \c func is invoked and daemonize returns when
and what it does. daemonize() returns -1 on error.
Exactly what happens when daemonizing depends on the platform.
<ul>
<li>unix:
Detaches from terminal. \c func gets passed one argument, the
name passed to daemonize().
<li>win32:
Becomes a service. Argument 0 is the name of the service
and the rest are the arguments passed to StartService().
\c func is only called when the service is actually started.
\c func must behave like a proper ServiceMain() function; in
particular, it must call RegisterServiceCtrlHandler() and
SetServiceStatus().
</ul>
