I've been talking about this for years. All I need is help with the

FWIW, there are some variations in schemes across OS's -- one extreme is
the Linux approach, which actually exports a mini shared library in ELF
format on the shared page, providing implementations of various services
(such as entering system calls), time stuff, etc. Less extreme are the
shared pages offered on Mac OS X, etc.
Yes, but I'd like to start somewhere, and considering that it's been
impossible in _5_ years to get the 30 minutes of Peter or JeffR or JHB
time to get the basic VM magic done, I'm keeping my expectations as
modest as possible.
