I likke the idea of a RESIDENT:, but I woul prefer to see it be part
of the regular filesystem such that: 
  1) on the boot disk/partition you would find a directory :resident,
  2) RESIDENT: nominally points to sys:resident but could be pointed elsewhere,
  3) all the executables in the subdirectories of RESIDENT: would also become
     resident,
  4) I am not sure I really want #3.
