Process Manager was one of the few control strip modules I found useful. This module put the icons of every active application in the control strip and allowed you to switch to another program by single-clicking on its icon.
I want a menu extra that will do the same thing under Mac OS X. Does something like this exist? (ASM does not fit this purpose as it only shows the frontmost application unless you click on its menu.)

Theoretically, someone could re-implement the old standaby, TaskMenuBar, as a menu extra.
That's likely to take quite a bit of hacking, because of all the dynamic sizing that would have to be done. But for something like what you describe, it seems to be the best way.

just make your dock realy small, pin it and put it on the side you want it. joke 
if you don't mind yet another thing floating around your screen, DragThing can do this as a window, not a menu extra.

No, I don't want it in a window. I want to reduce clutter, not add to it. So such a utility does not exist? Has anyone attempted to create something like this?
So why does Apple refuse to release the API for menu extras? Don't they see the demand?

They probably don't consider the API for it to be stable yet. Developers tend to get mad if you yank their API's out from under then and they have to rewrite constantly. So rather than do that, they've decided not to release the API's just yet.
