For what it is worth, I'd be happy to alias flags (assuming they don't 
conflict with existing flags) in the upstream SysV version of pidof. 
And, if need be, add functionality to our pidof to make SysV a drop-in 
replacement for the other pidof. Or a super-set of the other pidof.

Would that be helpful?
