ibgtop supports more OS's than we do and has the advantage of allowing us t=

Yeah. I looked at this too, and at the time they didn't have a non-beta
release for Solaris. Now it seems they do (or at least, the current
release is rather stable).

Count me in, I liked libgtop otherwise.

We were hesitant at first, because it becomes one of those "oh great,
another library LCDproc depends on" issues, but libgtop is worth it,
methinks.
