   What format did you use for relocatable files? AISI there are two choices:   
      
   1. Design your own format. Then relocation would be easy but you'd need   
   some way to convert to that form from build tools - compiler/assembler -   
   or to produce your own build tools.   
      
   2. Use a predefined format. Then relocation would require parsing the   
   structure but (bugs permitting!) it would be easy to produce.   
      
      
   FWIW, I am looking to use option 2 ATM but I have all kinds of   
   interesting ideas for matters related to option 1. :-)
