In addition to Michael Zhilin pushing fixes up to Jenkins for procstat
support,
in the past few days, Allan Jude modified the FreeBSD procstat utility to
use the libxo library so that procstat output can be in JSON or XML:

This is great stuff, and will make writing scripts on top of FreeBSD
utilities a lot
easier.  This benefits Jenkins, but goes beyond just Jenkins.
Thank you to Michael and Allan!!
