Ok.

The compiler forces an import of a symbol named __STARTUP__ when it encounters
a function named "main". This causes crt0 to be linked in, which - because it
is now in a library - wouldn't otherwise be linked to the executable.

Segments are required by the linker config. You can either define an empty
ZPSAVE segment, or use a custom linker config.

Documenting __STARTUP__ is a good idea. As is every suggestion that says "we
need better documentation" :-)

Seriously, I've never seen a startup file written from scratch (they're always
derived from the ones that come with cc65), so this is probably not as
important as it seems.
