The "huge" model is a C-language aberration.  The FST Modula-2
compiler doesn't offer different memory models because Modula-2
doesn't need different memory models even for segmented architectures.
(C needs different models because it treats pointers like funny
integers so you need the option to trade generality for speed.)
