I like it!. This certainly reduces some piping but as long as it is not 
integrated upstream it will only become more of a responsibility on 
FreeBSD's behalf to maintain it. If someone has the original authors email 
address I would say lets include him on this and see what he thinks.

This would probably be the same for the pkill thread that I am involved in 
to. CC'ing responsible party for that thread.

Best regards.
