This is an alternative I hadn't considered, thanks!

I'd still be interested in including this patch, or some variation of
it, to bring nice up to "feature parity" with the renice
implementations. nice and renice are definitely distinct tools given
their lineage, but I think most end users generally expect that having
nice and renice together on their GNU/Linux system implies some sort
of relationship.

Thanks,
Kevin
