Comment(by bdubbs@…):

 I haven't tested the applications but the build works pretty well without
 the patches and sed.  I note that snice is not there, but the current man
 page for snice/skill says:

 "These tools are probably obsolete and unportable. The command syntax is
 poorly defined.  Consider using the killall, pkill, and pgrep commands
 instead."

 There is probably a minor error in the build because they have the option

 --enable-skill          build skill and snice

 but they build skill by default.

 Using --prefix= is not enough.  We would need to use --mandir and
 --docdir.  This seems to work for me:

 {{{
 ./configure --prefix=
             --mandir=/usr/share/man
             --docdir=/usr/share/doc/procps-ng-3.3.6
             --disable-skill
 }}}

 I'm in the middle of of a full build, but will test the executables when
 I'm done.

 Matt, What do you think?
