  Modified:    lib/libutil  Makefile
  Added:       lib/libutil  setproctitle.3 setproctitle.c
  Log:
  Bring in an initial version of setproctitle()..  This is intended to
  replace the dozen other various hacks in the code that do all sorts
  of crude things including spamming the envrionment strings with the new
  argv string.
  
  This version is mainly inspired by the sendmail version, with a couple of
  ideas taken from the NetBSD implementation as well.
