That depends how you are going to *use* the ulimit approach in that type
of context. For example, there is no way to specify ulimit in PHP's
proc_open(), maybe because setrlimit() is OS-specific.

There are other cases when binaries are executed directly, without a
shell, hence the need for a wrapper.
