But since Philip already makes use of wrapper functions, it wouldn't be
incongruous to add a set_proctitle() wrapper containing lots of ugly
#ifdefs such that systems with no supported means of adjusting the
process title would execute no code within the wrapper function. :-)

Like I said, if the WISHLIST item submitter could explain more precisely
what he'd like to see in ps ax output, I'll send Philip diffs.

Ciao,
