It's kind of nice, but someone should look up the heated debate we had about this some time ago. I think there was something that needed to be fixed before we could add it. That or we got tired of yelling at eachother.
All I could find was an "argv[0]" thread that barely mentioned changing the processes title, it was mostly arguing about fork() and threads. I certainly couldn't find any resolution one way or the other in the archives anyhow.
For what is worth, the patch just puts a wrapper around setproctitle for the systems that have it (just BSDs as far as I know), and has no effect on systems without it. I don't mind digging up the hacks required to do the same thing on other unixy systems if the code will be used.
