See the STANDARDS section of the setproctitle(3) manpage. If you worry
that you may port to an operating system whose setproctitle() has a
different calling convention, then stick to manipulating argv[0]. If
your only concern is whether setproctitle() will be present on other
systems, you'll probably want an #ifdef SETPROCTITLE.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
