I have written such a critter, and am willing to share it.  Unfortunately, I
can't seem to find the source for it, but I have the executable.  If there's
enough interest, I can post it; otherwise drop me a line.

(The program was simply a call to exec with argv[0] as the program name.  At
least that's what my memory seems to recall....)
