Cool okay, we'll roll with it then. xclip and pbpaste aren't POSIX either,
so I figure we've got a bit of latitude...

By the way, can you think of any way to wait for the ppid to exit, that's
less racy than sleep or polling? We can't wait() because we aren't the
parent, and inotify (on /proc/pid) is Linux-only and the CLI utilities
aren't standard... I'd like a way to wait() on the ppid essentially, that's
portable.
