I would say definitely yes to exec, vfork and wait4. Adding wait and wait3
isn't a huge priority, but it's worth putting them in there to round out the
list of functions available.
IMHO, if you are going for a one to one relationship between the system
functions and the pcntl library, I wouldn't combine those together into
something like wait_rusage(). Someone using the pcntl functions will just
know that wait3 or wait4 will do exactly what they expect it to do without
having to do much more than brush up on a manpage.
