# Look for PS usage. We use double dollar-signs in FIND_PROC because this
# value is written to a makefile, which interprets away one level of
# dollar-signs. So, interpretation stages are m4 and then shell in autoconf,

-# We use grep -E Foo space-or-EOL so that we don't falsely match "Foo_safe" .
-# Assumption is that if there are parameters, the system represents them using
-# space as a seperator. This has the side effect that the matching expression
-# does not match itself, and so grep won't self-match.
