Forgot to mention ... this particular method of interfacing to the OS 
and to C code in general is unique to d2c.  Mindy has a different method 
(you have to link stuff into the interpreter) and FunO has yet another 
just slightly different method.

We're working on implementing the FunO C-FFI interface into d2c but the 
current one will probably remain for a long time in parallel to that.
