This makes sense to me. Even better might be the managed solution
which Rafael spoke about in http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.mono.devel/10778
and which Miguel is trying to do now. This should run on most systems
which support Mono.Unix, but I haven't found a solution for the 
managed fork problem.

Feel free to rename it.
