The reason that this is needed is that what we have available for auditing 
strange problems that a particular program might have is the 
equivalent of audit by inode. You have to have the pid in order to write a 
rule. Another invocation and we need a new rule. This feature would allow you 
to do investigations like:

- give me all EPERM events generated by apache.
- give me all files opened by gnash
- give me all execve calls made by bind
- record any time sendmail fails to change uid
- exclude any opens with ENOENT by top secret processes  <- real important
