I tried the 'modified' Watcom linker the other night, but it found some 
problems with snn.lib. That was a 2003 release, and the tools have been 
updated significantly since then. The recent release may well have 
better luck (the trunk supports OMF). Would be very interested if 
someone were to have a go at it.
