Actually, how significant is ROM size as a limit anyways?

Just use RAM. Patch some library vectors, install a ROM-TAG to re-do the
vectors at every warm boot, presto! No need to hack up some ROM.

BTW, can we please see this in 1.4, i.e., if we have a 500 or 2000 with 1.2
roms, how about putting a rom-tag'd patch program in to give us all the
1.4 features without needing new roms? We've got the memory now.
