That's great! Now, please forgive my sub-standard organic knowledge 
storage device, but why is this a good thing? Is this A Good Thing? 
What's an ELF anyway? (Aside from the usual definitions for this time 
of year...)

I did find an ELF FAQ <http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/elf.html> 
however the description really doesn't shed a whole lot of light on 
the subject (for me anyway...) :
"What is ELF?
ELF is a binary format designed to support dynamic objects and shared 
libraries. On older COFF and ECOFF systems, dynamic support and 
shared libraries were not naturally supported by the underlying 
format, leading to dynamic implementations that were at times 
complex, quirky, and slow."

Once again, I grovel in the presence of those whose knowledge 
outshines mine in every respect etc...etc...
