How modern is modern? When was this feature introduced, and how widespread are earlier releases likely to be? More importantly, what happens if your patch is used on a system that does *not* include legacy support for /proc/uptime? Does it fail gracefully, or does it crash the agent?
Looking at the Cygwin CVS, it looks like it has supported /proc/uptime for at least 3 years, 8 months.
