With UnixLib 5 in GCCSDK 4 we might have the option to deal with this
in a more elegant way. E.g. suppose in UnixLib 5 we change the default
for heap vs DA as:
1) When progname$Heap is set to "yes" -> use wimpslot
2) When progname$Heap is set to "no" -> use DA.
3) When it is not set or not one of those values -> use the default choice
based on OS. And the default choice is to use DA except when running on
RISC OS 5.
And then I guess most programs don't have to set progname$Heap at all (the
exceptions are programs which fork as then you probably want to use DA).
Comments ?
