In coreutils CVS (which will become 5.3.1), nohup will redirect stdin on
your behalf, in light of a recent POSIX interpretation, for this very reason.
However, I haven't had the desire to package a CVS version of coreutils,
instead preferring to wait for 5.3.1 to actually be released.  Furthermore,
since not all implementations of nohup will do that, you still need to
redirect stdin yourself to be portable when using nohup.
