I've been tinkering with a java jni interface to /proc and thought - wouldn't
it be nice to convert the project id to a project name when I display it?

That's easy - call getprojbyid(). However, that requires libproject.so, and
where that comes, several kitchen sinks follow.

It's not *just* the fact that I pull in a dozen extra libraries. I'm also seeing
strange breakage in my application with some java versions.

So, is there a particular reason why the name <-> id lookup functions
for projects are hidden away in their own library rather than in libc like
other lookups? (For example, converting between a zone name and
a zone id is in libc.)
