Yes. I didn't write any of the code in dfly.c though, I just copied it over 
from freebsd.c and removed the portions that were obsolete/broken on 
dragonfly, so the linprocfs dependency didn't bother me: it's what the 
original code did. Feel free to improve it and if you do, please start by 
running indent on it; such code makes the gnu style look beautiful by 
comparison. Or, even better, throw it out the window and start from scratch
