I tried this when collecting material for the "RPM: proof of concept" mail. It 
worked at least up to bash, as you can see from that message. The only thing 
that I had to change were procps instructions.

Note: this requires a package manager that will set the correct permissions and 
ownership on the installed files. Just a plain "make install" may or may not 
work.
