I don't know any MiNT utils doing that kind of things, so I wonder a bit
about the meaning of above sln links...


Btw.  Newer Linux kernels (2.x.x) provide these kernel hooks through more
generic proc filesystem stuff.  Like changing the maximum number of open
files per process at runtime just by 'cat'ing a number to a certain
proc-fs file.  :)
