Yeah, sorry, I guess that came out more optimistic then what I meant. What I 
was trying to say, that it is possible to create NativeProcessProtocol in a 
unit test, which means it would be also possible for the NativeProcessELF.

I haven't given this much thought, but it may be possible to reuse the stuff in 
MockProcess by making it a template (so you'd have a 
MockProcess<NativeProcessProtocol>, and a MockProcess<NativeProcessELF>)
