Heh, that would be cool. Hmm, drat, I'm the one supposed to do the ELF
part... well, I'll get to it still. As for for cross-OS compatibility, it
would have been easier if COFF still were widely used in the unix world,
ELF is a totally different beast regarding datastructures and link
semantics. But I will plug at it again soon now, DDL might even get some
"professional" attention from me ;)
