Do it, yes; easily depends on how bad you want it.

Aztec C supports the creation of arbitrary-sized code resources; the only
limitation is that static data + jump table is limited to 64K.  It works.
(I know, I modified the Aztec linker to do this when I worked for Manx).

And thanks for the kind words from Earle Horton and others on the Aztec
product.  I no longer work for Manx, but it's still nice to hear your
"children" are well-thought-of.  No, I didn't do the docs, perhaps I should
have paid more attention to them...
