I tried to work something out in /bin/sh, but it's not evident since
/bin/sh does not have associative arrays, and "for" parses netstat's
output word by word instead of line by line.  Due to this, my program
was O(n^2) (n representing the number of lines in fstat/netstat output),
which makes it visibly slow.  Perl seems to be much better for this kind
of thing (duh).  

Maybe C is the better way to go, but I'm not an experienced C
programmer.  Can someone (Andrew?) look into the C version of sockstat
(from FreeBSD 5.x) and try to port that?
