Is there any special reason that addr2line is not incorporated in
symify?  Why have the user need to transcribe hex addresses from
the screen?

Another convenience: At least with 4dos an environment variable
CMDLINE is left, so symify without parameters could use that by
default.  Or is there a problem with doing so?
