As far as I understand BProc is just for centrally managed pid space, and it
does not have provisions for shared memory/shared user space so I don't think
this would be possible with the current BProc, best ask Erik about this
(er...@he...).

I belive if your library has hooks to somehow save the program state and move
it to a different node you can use bproc to manage it. This would be a tough.
