    Yah.  Obviously the feature will start out being rather primitive, but
    it should be possible to add functionality incrementally without having
    to ripup the stuff already done.  I can envision (in the future) a 
    program setting up a SIGCHKPT signal, for example, which would allow the
    program to implement its own checkpoint restore function based on a
    resource list given to it by the system.

	Ah, ok.  It could have something like checkpoint+restart
	functions which both get called during those respective
	operations as part of any additional initialisation that
	needs to be done.
