   setproctitle is available in libc only in *BSD. Other unicies require
different tricks. Have you ever looked at sendmail source code? You'll find
there many surprises. The problem is their license.
   May be I'll steal the code from Postgres (which has similar, but
different implementation, covered under BSD license).
