If we're going to do this, I recommend we not be UNIX-specific. How about
this (shorter keys are fine w/me :):

program: ftp-gw
program-instance: 25346

Putting PIDs in is a bit too UNIX-centric for my tastes. I also don't want
to require that they be numeric. I can easily see PID1234/TID56 as a
uniqueifier (insert LWP for TID to taste :)
