Also, I think it would be an excellent idea if the parameter passing
to shared libraries was *exactly* the same as for GEMDOS. We know that
all compilers can produce code that calls GEMDOS :-) and it helps people
who write code with 16-bit integers.

We'd have to extend it a little for floating point stuff - do the compilers
all use the same format for floats and doubles, and how should we pass
chars?

No... ;-)
