Yes, I though about this option before, has a dumb statically linked
executable to work as PID 1 that just only exec Node.js and wait until
it finishes, so I can use a standard dynamically linked one and do
whatever I want, but it's more like an ugly hack and since I was
already thinking to use a statically linked Node.js to make simpler
the filesystem layout, then I followed that path. It's not what I
wanted, but seems it would be the easiest path. At least I've learn a
lot the last week while fighting with this things... :-)
