And please be aware that the necessary sequence of function calls is 
different for GDC.  Fixing this has been on my "to do" list for Tango 
since the project began, and it really all just comes down to finding an 
appropriate pair of function names.  They will most likely be cr_init() 
and cr_term(), and will call the normal runtime initialization and 
termination process.  I think I haven't gotten around to it yet simply 
because no one has complained about it :-)
