An eventual goal for this linker once it reaches beyond simple Atari

ST output, is to use a much more general object and link script

format, to provide broad platform support.  I'm imagining a small

sexp-based DSL for describing the encodings of relocations and

whatnot, that would be present in the object file.  The real test

would be seeing how it supported modern RISC architecture instruction

encoding.

Issues:

- - test for bad relocations (I saw a local TEXT->TEXT once)

- - watch for unaligned output, warn.

Things to add in the linker:

Atari ST bootfloppy target?

  Maybe just some kind of special relocation output for a little

  loader we'd stick at the beginning of the image.

linker scripts!
