systat -- any reason to support crash dumps?

[Jason Thorpe <thorpej%shagadelic.org@localhost>]

systat is a tool that is fundamentally structured around providing  
live stat updates on a running system.  If I were to convert some of  
its modules to use sysctl to get data instead, is there any reason to  
even conditionally use kvm to read the same data?
