bug fixes, plus some more /proc/factions bullshit.

/proc/factions/FACTIONNAME exists and is a directory.
(there are some linux 2.2 problems with links so currently
/proc/factions/FACTIONNUMBER is more reliable.)
it includes some random bullshit (class, configuration string, list of
inputs, their personalities, and what they are connected to, list of
outputs w/similar info)
it also includes whatever the faction wants.
right now Queue factions export their current length as
/proc/factions/FACTIONNAME/length
and Counter factions (a new kind of faction) export their current count as
/proc/factions/FACTIONNAME/count
eventually you will be able to write stuff to files like this but they are
readonly for now.
their usefulness in the near term is probably as a way of communicating a
dynamically allocated system call number (for example) to a user process.

love,
