Hi procps fork maintainers, I did not find README.devel etc file which would indicate how far you like to drift from sourceforge procps. With this patch I am assuming that you really don't mind drifting as long as command behavior for users does not change. Assuming that is the case I could start doing similar modernization on larger scale. Most of the commands does not seem to support long options, proper .gitignore, support for autotools might be welcome and so on. Naturally avoiding big commits is a target, which I failed to do this time. Please give some guidance, so that I will be help you the way you feel is good for the project.
