| Bingo. I've started one of these beasts already, having been inspired by
| the VMS "thumper" that does just that. I think the correct name for the
| thing is "external scheduler", and consider it as a replacement for the
| long-term half of the Unix scheduler (on the off chance that Unix actually
| has a long-term scheduler).
| 
| Should you have source (lucky devils), this approach is silly. You would
| be better off rewriting the Unix scheduler. The daemon could be used to
| testbed different versions of the scheduler under load, though.
