Basically yes, the command can run in it's own process. Well, it 
currently does, but TextMate doesn't currently multiplex between output 
from this command and the normal event loop.

It is however on the to-do, and with regard to having the command send 
output to the current window, this should/can be solved by only making 
that window/buffer busy (unresponsive), and even bringing up a 
window-modal requester to abort it.

It's something I will improve eventually... but short-term I will 
experiment with having the new output form (a HTML window) execute the 
command asynchronously probably already for beta 5.
