You definitely do _not_ want the MMInit under 7.0. First of all, yes,
it is built in (has been since 7.0b3). Secondly, since the INIT was
essentially a copy of the Memory Manager in RAM form, it dutifully
replicates all the bugs in the Memory Manager. Well...not that there
are a lot; only a couple. But there is one in 32-bit mode that will
corrupt memory. This is fixed in 7.0, but if you use MMInit, it's
possible that you'll reintroduce the bug.
