it's not just mpm.  i can run almost every binary that has
ever been compiled on plan 9 (for my current architecture).
that's useful occasionally, and it's 100 lines of code to implement.
if you don't want to carry it around, you could chop it out
of your copy, but there are much bigger things you could drop
instead.
