Hmmm, that's a very very bad idea. The power of MiNTlibs is that programs
linked with them are able to run under three more or less different
operating systems - TOS, MiNT and hopefully MagiC. If anyone would break
this rule programmers could not use the library, so it would be useless to
do such an 'improvement' of MiNTlibs - understand me, Konrad?

Hopefully the Dirk's patch is MagiC friendly as I've just been told.
