Interesting reading...

I looked at linux (2.4.20-2.13 i686) and saw:

[kdebisschop at localhost build-redhat]$ cat /proc/meminfo

I wonder if there's any relation to the SwapCached item...

Anyway, I think what you have can be done in C with just a few changes
to configure.in. If I have a little time on a Solaris machine, I'll look
into it.
