[Click] Invalid files created by Click-install

[Beyers Cronje]

Hi Bita,

The /proc/click and /click filesystem is a /proc like "virtual"
filesystem which provides an interface to the click kernel module 
data structures and elements. A google search on "linux proc
filesystem" will give you more than enough information on this.

A quick 'll -R /proc' will reveal that all files/directories under
/proc have 0 length.
