Not that I know that it's the right solution (even if it is almost certainly a solution), but screen is not a heavyweight application at all. I mean, it's bigger than nohup, but it's about the same weight as a powerful shell, and I don't think it depends on much beyond term{cap/info} and curses, if that.
