How can I check how much heap space is left (or used) in my
drops/oskit program? Normally (in linux/gnu) I would use getrusage,
which also returns a number of other useful statistics, but this
function doesn't seem to exist in drops/oskit...
In "MODE = l4env" you could use one of:

  #include <oskit/lmm.h>

  extern lmm_t malloc_lmm;

  unsigned int free_memory = lmm_avail(&malloc_lmm, 0);
  lmm_dump(&malloc_lmm);
  lmm_stats(&malloc_lmm);
