Overlaying is done by the linker, not the compiler, and output from ANY
compiler/assembler/etc can be overlaid.  ALINK will not do overlays on
the Amiga, but the version in the PC cross-development system will.

We're in the process of adding overlays to BLINK, so version 6.? (or
maybe 7.?) should do them.
