Nice.

That would be OK for initial testing, but i think for the real thing we
should make this into a configure option, and compile out things that
are not going to be used in the app; it might be good to at least start
thinking about what that will involve.

I think the cleanest way is to add whaterver you need to the XAP_UnixApp
object, and set it at some suitable place, probably in
AP_Args::doWindowlessArgs () .
