Thanks for the tip, that's just what I was looking to do! My game is
divided into a bunch of separately-compiled binaries (e.g.
bootstrapping code, drivecode, the main program and per-level code)
and linking them together manually is getting rather tedious,
especially where any sort of mutual dependencies are involved.

By the way, is it possible to link in overlays automatically at the
end of a preceding segment? That is to let the overlays fill up the
remaining space without having to hardcode a specific size.

Thanks for the reassuring words. I wasn't really expecting any
problems but I wanted to make sure that I wouldn't run into any brick
walls before spending weeks on converting the code.
