I know, I know...  But given that I knew nothing about this whole thing
when I started, I wanted to do it with minimum impact (i.e., without
touching any of the existing code, if possible).  It was already
difficult enough to understand how it was working to even try to write
it in a different way.  Also, writing the code as is now made me learn
a bit about ELF.

Anyway, not that it cannot be done properly now ;-)  I will look at it
now that I've gathered "enough" knowledge about the issue.

Cheers,
