Thanks, I already did this. Those are the only two functions. The
rest comes from the OpenBSD tree.
However, looking over waitpid(). It may not be cross-platform supported.
It was written directly for NeWS and NeXT. Since they return a structure
unlike standard BSD which just returns an int*. Hmm.. I wonder if it would
not be a bad idea to isolate the code a little better due to this feature.
