In principle, it seems like fexec* is missing from the system call interface,
perhaps because it was deemed unreasonable.  There is stat() and fstat(), etc,
which operate on either a file or a stream, but no fexecv().  The kernel
implementation would be a few differences at the start, but the main part
would be identical.  Make the synopsis be:

	fexecv(int fd,char *args[])
