isn;'t there some kind of standard for these things ? Over in FreeBSD
land /proc has been depracated for a couple of years and no longer
appears by default. I dont ever look at this part of the kernel,
but I wwas under the imppression there was a rough set of standardised
calls to replace all this on Unix/BSD at least. So we could use /proc
on Linux/Plan9 style things and the aalternative on Unix/BSD system
maybe ?
