So the answer here is to make libgtop work on Solaris ;) Otherwise if you
port gprocview to Linux for example, you will be in essance rewriting
libgtop.

Now if you really feel like rewriting libgtop, then perhaps I would be
willing to port procman to your new library (considering libgtop is
unmainted code and scares me a lot ;)
