Ugly method: Using ptrace(), trap after the execve() and issue fake
syscalls to install the filter. I feel dirty thinking it, in a good way.

LD_PRELOAD has been suggested. It's not 100% reliable because not all
executables are dynamic (on some uClinux platforms none of them are),
but it will usually work.
