I need this feature to port an ongoing research project on a new networking protocol stack that can run either in Linux Kernel space, user space or on network simulators. Hence the need to wrap malloc() and sleep() for example and give them a different behavior depending on the running environment. Of course, other issues will arise to port the all thing to the Darwin environment.
