As you probably know I am NOT an LE fan. That being said, I would

and language independent. Especially if you envision this to be cross

release of a vendors product and not with another's release. The
complications of trying to do so would, IMO would be close to
impossible. IBM can't do it themselves with LE what makes you think
when you add other vendors it could be done?
Huh? Your "subroutine library" is the same set of system services
provided
for assembler programs (Metal C provides for the programmed
assignment of
registers and 'dropping down' to assembler in-line with your C
program.
Ergo, the versioning issues are no different than what you have
with your
assembler routines.
