We could also modify the Systemcalls class to call nice(10) if
necessary, after fork() but before calling exec(), ie somewhere in
Systemcalls::fork().
nice() is part of POSIX. There are no autoconf macros to detect it.
But does it exist on Windows and OS/2?
Writing an autoconf macro to detect it should be a simple matter...
