| First, I have uploaded a patch into Trac. It embodies what follows:

Howard, thank you for rolling up your sleeves and helping with linker stuff.  
It's much appreciated.

I think we're all agreed about that, although Simon has a short list of reasons 
why it's not entirely straightforward (there's a thread in the last few months 
about it).  So your help in moving it forward would be great.
