You know, I got the sources, and after reading the "readme"s it seems like it
would be so much easier to just "hack the binary" as you put it.  I don't have
all the stuff you need to build LD.  I would need to find out what I'm missing,
get it & install it.  Plus, most of the documentation assumes that you know how
to use make.  Is it dangerous to use LD after hacking it in this way, i.e.
changing the "e:" to "c:"?
