Ouch!  "ps" is already non-portable; I shudder to think of trying to
do that in Perl.

My compromise solution is to keep OpenAV support, but to default the
$Features{'Virus:OpenAV'} entry to 0.  If you know you have OpenAV, you
know better than to trust $Features :-)

(I dunno, the whole concept of a virus-scanner written in Java just sounds
odd to me...)
