Ah, I see. So staprun really does magically know about being setuid, not
just "privilege works". In that case, to run under sudo it would still
take a little wrapper (to call setresuid and exec staprun) that is hard to
script. But wait, the mother of all bad scripting solutions can handle it!
I pushed some new code.
