Two questions about integrating inferno/limbo into plan9:
1) is there any way to make dis programs "runnable" like shell scripts are?
eg
  %dis/charon
rather than
  %emu /bin/dis/charon

2) could the inferno system be made to serve its /prog to the machine's
/proc? this would blur the borders between the host plan9 and the inferno
subsystem, which might be a good thing or a terrible idea.
