So.

This code is a *really bad idea*.

Apps should not be twiddling with tunables in /proc or /sys - they are system
wide attributes. You can have multiple apps - what if they want different 
things?
This library doesn't actually prevent you from situations where the kernel
changes without patching and rebuild, so you don't gain anything from an app
standpoint. It's never the sort of thing which will be in Fedora base, or RHEL,
and therefore any app that would want to use it would need ot have code to
handle it not being there anyway. So, what's the point?
