If you want to see how this works, check out a non-committed port,
wmavgload (pr # 7344).  I've also got patches to get asload up and running
but I haven't instituted that into the afterstep-devel port.  Part of the
problem is the present beta for AS-1.5 won't even start to compile due to
a bad configure script and I don't have time to mess with it (and
apparently neither do the AS development people).  :-P
