setproctitle()

[Timo Sirainen <tss at iki dot fi>]

BSDs have:

void setproctitle(const char *fmt, ...);

to change the process title (in ps output). Could this also be added to
glibc? Or would it be better done by adding a new syscall to Linux
kernel?

(I know there's a way to already mess around with argv and environ to
implement it, but it seems pretty dangerous so I haven't dared to use it
on my actual programs.)
