The GNU/Linux implementation is now done and installed. I didn't yet write the documentation for the ELisp manual, but I assume this is not urgent, since the code freeze does not affect the docs. P.S. The GNU/Linux implementation uses /proc filesystem to get at the list of processes and the attributes of a process. While I know that other Unix systems support /proc, I don't have access to them, and thus cannot verify that the code works on them, especially since I'm quite sure the details vary. So for now the /proc method is only enabled for GNU/Linux; users of other Unices will have to extend the code for their systems.
