It's possible.  Any suggestions for groupings?  I can think of files,
networking, memory (mmap &c), signals, session (getuid &c), ipc.

I've also wondered about cutting down on ifdef boilerplate.  There's nothing
more that I can do about it within the C preprocessor.

I'd have to wire up something else via the makefiles, but haven't thought about
what form that should take.  Likely it ought to be something that can be
massaged into both syscall dispatch and strace tables.
