Rummaging through the docs I found sys/kn/proc/ stuff which should in
theory provide all we would need in relation to the fork() etc.. gang.
The only drawback that I can see with that direction is that anything
you want to spawn HAS to be a tool, and HAS to be a main tool..
Digging around the filesystem resulted in this:
/dev/socket/tcpip/inetaton.00
So, the tool exists, just nothing in the C API for it yet AFAICT.

Nope, I sure don't. I would rather not rely on a third party library
(if entirely possible) for an application, thanks. :)
