I think's Eric's suggested workaround is right, it is a bunch of work to 
make workers track other workers to little benefit; but one could cheat 
and use ps to find sibling processes (children of the worker's parent 
which should be the unicorn master):

def num_workers
   `ps -ef`.
   split("\n").
   map{ |line| line.split(' ',4)[2].to_i }.
   select{ |ppid| ppid == Process.ppid }.size
end
