Alas, if it's x86 only I won't even look into the task (which does sound
quite daunting as the way to solve the apparently-elementary question
"how much virtual memory is this process using right now?"...!), since I
definitely cannot drop support for all PPC-based Macs (nor would I WANT
to, since they're my favourite platform anyway).
