Through "manual" segmentation (i.e. the library loads it's own code segments, builds
its own cross-segment dispatch table, accesses functions in those other segments
through function pointers, etc.). Ugly? Yes, but macros can help to hide some of that
under a spiffy veneer. We plan to address this issue in a future version of the Palm
OS, but until then...
