It seems the one solution to promoting icon programs as first class
citizens would be to use dynamic libraries such as used by the
Amiga, OS/2, or SunOS 4.0.  This would allow compilation to machine code
without the need to link in the run time library explicitly into
each copy.  Has any work been done to support this on the systems
that have dynamic libraries?
