Hi Jim,
  newlib and master branches are pushed. I was working on a small test to
see what was going on with fatal_proc_unmounted() when you use it to get
values for the calling process. Added a caveat to the man page so it
doesn't ruin someone's several days trying to work out why it returns PPID
but not PID.

Looking at most of the dependent programs I've come to several conclusions:
* Most will be simple changes, there was one that is half implementing it's
own proc parsing half using libprocps that will have issues.
* Most call libprocps functions in a not-great way but I'm just updating
the API not fixing it.
* No matter how much you hate the build system you're used to, it's worse
using someone else's build system.
