I still think this should be included, but we can drop shells if you like.

I know that this is reimplementing a lot of stuff, but I think I tried 
using the lib (a bit strange using the object under test to test it, but 
would be ok for me), but failed to do so.
I guess this was because it uses traps and the set -m stuff, but I am 
not sure anymore.
