Minor comments are that the caller has to choose which function to call
and passing in 'target-1' for the 'last' in set_pidmap() seems a bit
unnatural. But I can't think of a better way and I think this will work.
Will test it out.

Pavel Emelyanov - you too had some comments about this part of my code.
Let me know if this works for you.
