[OPEN-ILS-DEV] PATCH: osrf_system.c (reporting names of child apps)

[Scott McKellar]

With this patch, opensrf will report not only the process id but also
the application name of the child processes -- both when it launches
them and when they terminate.  The libname is stored as well, for 
possible future use.

This change will make it easier for an admin to monitor the system,
especially when an application dies abnormally.

The way I incorporated the names into the messages may or may not be to
your taste, but that's easy to tinker with.

I used a doubly linked list to store the application names, as 
mentioned in my posting of August 18.

As with my earlier patch to this module, I developed the code on a 
stripped-down version of the original that I could test with, and then
back-ported it to the original.  I trust you will take it out for a
spin before committing.
