Just what is in an executable? I know there's a resource compiler for
Windows and I think it's ouput goes into the executable. I really don't care
what BFD the executable has. But COFF seems to be what djgpp uses. Can any
symbol tables be trimmed off an executable, or added to make it COFF
compatable for the exec2coff command?
