-Module to allow for arbitrary renaming of our python process. This is mostly

-and an adaptation by Jake: https://github.com/ioerror/chameleon

-A cleaner implementation is available at:
-https://github.com/cream/libs/blob/b38970e2a6f6d2620724c828808235be0445b799/cream/util/procname.py
-but I'm not quite clear on their implementation, and it only does targeted
-argument replacement (ie, replace argv[0], argv[1], etc but with a string
-the same size).
