Well, please remember that the startup code does memory allocation,
creates the environ[] array and looks at environment variables such
as LFN, copies strings to and fro, expands command-line wildcards,
reads and processes the DJGPP.ENV file, etc. etc...  So it's niot
surprising we use so many library functions: otherwise, where would
the 30KB of minimal image come from? ;-)

Also `remove' and `_truename' caused my brows to go up.  Whatever do
we need those for in the startup code?
