Hmm, I assume the usual configuration of a MiNT machine is 4 MB. If
you only run one compiler, you can be happy if you can execute 'ls'.

I think it's worth implementing it, if we have any sort of virtual
memory. But until then its more effort than real use. Remember the
momory fragmentation problem.
