Better fix these apps so they use portable code instead.
Like sysconf(), confstr(), pathconf(), fpathconf(), ...
http://linux.die.net/man/3/sysconf
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/sysconf.html
As well as getrusage()... (even though Haiku has a minimalist version,
patches welcome).
http://linux.die.net/man/2/getrusage
Sure We could emulate procfs, but then we'd have to emulate all of

(I actually started writing one long ago, but there is not much point,
