It came up my mind, when I did some research on the various cflow
implementations available in the internet. After deciding to do some work on
it, I came up with the idea to make this an addition to the base system.

As the POSIX standard expects cflow in a POSIX conformous environment, it might
be a good thing to add anyways. It also does not add much overhead to it; the
currently available implementations consume around 20kb of space ;-).
