- The thing is that one need only have an include file. Let the
- application get the cookie and the pointer in the cookie should point to
- a structure of functions. This way there is no need for any library
- routines, since all these calls are effectively added to the OS
- except that in this case you can remove this part of the OS when running
- in single tasking mode.
- BTW again this is about implementation, while we might first want to go
- into the issue of functionality.
