Description
Create a script sage-walltimekill
SAGE_ROOT/local/bin/ that would run
a subprocess, wait a certain amount of time, then killing it.
sage-walltimekill 3600 sage
would kill the process it starts after 3600 wall seconds.
This will be useful both for doctesting and the notebook. It's the sort of thing ulimit "should" do, but doesn't.

Gary,
this is very interesting and would help to make -tp more robust.
