Actually, that's not true.
The PalmOS shared library mechanism ain't particularly pretty. You may not find
it acceptable, and I actually don't like it much myself. But it was intended
for things like MathLib and WebLib just as much as for lower level drivers.
People building libraries like MathLib are *not* abusing the system - they are
contributing a valuable resource to the development community.
