I'd think these would be funny:

/proc/<PID>/environ	containing environment
/proc/<PID>/exe		symlink to executable file
/proc/<PID>/gid		like /proc/<PID>/uid, primary gid.

Currently the uid and gid of all <PID> directories are both just 0.
Since all uid/gid information per process is available, it shouldn't
be too hard to fake the ownership of the <PID> directories in stat().

And two unrelated:

/proc/self		symlink pointing to /proc/<PID> of current process.
/proc/mounts		containing same output as generated by mount(1).
