checking memory and cpu consumption of procs

[Voon, Ton]

A check_cpu, based on check_vsz, would be useful. However, it would require
quite a few non-trivial changes to the configure.in and makefile.am to pick
up various flags for the ps command to make it portable. If you want to make
a start, I'd be happy to add in other OSes.
