This is probably the way I'm going to do it, at least for the "upgrade
version" that may have to run from a floppy. I don't really need anything but
the kernel, drivers and a basic libc to run the application. The old
application is about 400 kB, and that includes hardware drivers and lots of
crappy cut'n'paste code.
The only reason to include more stuff would be to have a nicer environment for
on-site debugging, upgrading over networks and the like, but that's not
required to work on old instruments that receive a software only upgrade. (It
would be nice if it could fit though!)
