SVN rev 199458 on 2009-11-17 22:47:20Z by jilles
Add pwait utility, which waits for any process to terminate.
This is similar to the Solaris utility of the same name.
Some use cases:
* rc.subr's wait_for_pids
* interactive use, e.g. to shut down the computer when some task is done
even if the task is already running
