Good question, but not one to which I immediately know the answer. What
you want is something like a multi-segment application, where the other
segments come from other resource databases instead of the application's
DB. You could do this through building a multi-segmented application,
then manipulating the PRC files to pull out the additional code
resources into separate PRC files, but I don't know of a mechanism for
building the additional segments separate from the original program.
You can look at the multi-segment loader code -- its in the runtime
library source, and would be the basis for this mechanism. I think its
doable, but the build process could get a bit hairy.
