+Why an applet can't be NOFORK or NOEXEC?
+
+Why can't be NOFORK:
+daemon: runs indefinitely
+interactive: may wait for user input, ^C has to work
+spawner: "tool PROG ARGS" which changes program's environment - must fork
+changes state: e.g. environment, signal handlers
+runner: sometimes may run for long time, and/or works with network:
+ ^C has to work (cat BIGFILE, chmod -R, ftpget, nc)
+
+"runners" can become eligible after hush is taught ^C to interrupt NOFORKs!
+
+Why can't be NOEXEC:
+suid: runs under different uid - must fork+exec
+
+Why shouldn't be NOFORK/NOEXEC:
+complex: no immediately obvious reason why NOFORK wouldn't work,
+ but does some non-obvoius operations (example: fuser, lsof, losetup).
+ for NOFORK, nested xmallocs (typical in complex code) is a problem.
+rare: not used often enough to bother optimizing (example: poweroff)
