Most of amiga.lib is dumb stub routines that can be generated programatically.
You will need to write a program to convert the "fd.files" into assembly
language stubs, then assemble that.

The C libraries are really the "crown jewels" of a C compiler company.
I doubt you fill find much in the way of free help here.

Post *small* examples, edit it down to a line or two and ask the net.

Mail cbmvax!amiga!carolyn and ask for a licence.  Under certain circumstances,
you can get a licence to distribute these with your program.

See a message by a cbmvax person for a better path.

I suggest DME.  Available in the j.cc.purdue.EDU archives.  Only real
problem is the author reversed the cursor keys from the accepted standard :-).

In order:

ASDG recoverable ram disk (*if* it is legal to distribute in your manner)!!
MemWatch
morerows 
Conman V1.1
AmigaLine 1-X
ClickToFront :-)
arc

The first four are essential.
