 Waste of code.
 The whole "daemonize things" meme is evil and needs to die.
 The proper way to "daemonize" is to have a reliable supervision system
such as daemontools or runit. Constructs like daemon(3) or the
infamous Debian start-stop-daemon(1) do nothing for reliability or
robustness; if someone wants to run a program in the background,
introduce them to the shell's "&" character.
 As long as support for "daemonized things" will exist, people will
oversee the benefits of supervision. Please don't advertise the
outdated, unreliable way of running services.
