Jeff, he's right. It makes sense and fits neatly in existing newlib
practice. It will require just two system calls (getrlimit and setrlimit)
to be added to libgloss, and possibly not even that - who needs ulimit on
embedded systems?

truth to be told, the XSI standard marks ulimit, getrlimit and setrlimit as
[XSI], i.e. they are UNIX-only interfaces, not required nor guaranteed to
exist on a POSIX system
