	   Won't work, if only that every hunk is relative to 0 before relocation
   info is added.  UNIX machines can usually direct-page-in from the text portion
   of the executable because there is no relocation info in the executable...
   it's all been completely resolved.

Duh.  Forgot that.  Well, it could work if EVERYTHING were in a single
hunk...  :-)

	   I always like a challenge, but asking the paging system to munge
   around with the data that gets paged in dependant on the executable format
   is not something anybody is going to do... you gain nothing.

Clearly.  So, the solution would be to create a new executable format
from which you COULD ro-page the executable.  Since the AmigaDOS
Standard Object File Format is insufficient for this purpose...
