Currently Tcl provides quite a bit of help to the
unix daemon creator - but setsid() (the ability to set
the controlling tty) is one feature that neither Tcl or
TclX supports. This creates a problem for people
attempting to craft well written daemons. Since TclX
implements a number of functions that are POSIX/Unix
related, it would seem to be a better home for setsid
than would Tcl at this time.

After looking at the manpage of setsid I agree that we
should implement this one.
