It´s easy... try to detect the pysical memory (on common platforms). Then
use getrlimit to find out how much virtual memory we are to use.
Then take a bit less than the minimum of both values. If none exist, use
10MB.
In any case, process limits need to be set administratively on multi-user
machines anyway, so they should be a good guideline.

This lacks a definition of "available". The best value is clearly 100% of
the ram that is "available" ;)
