 The -lN options is a nice addition, but it's a rather blunt tool. Martin
 is wanting a system where one can limit the resources used by individual
 actions. Currently he does something like it on Linux with the use of a
 launcher script. It would be good to provide that functionality in a
 portable manner in bjam. Tasks would be:

   * RLIMIT_CPU, RLIMIT_DATA, etc. target variables.
   * Change current time limit code to check the RLIMIT_CPU target var and
 using that instead of the -lN value.
   * Implement other limits as possible.
