That *could* be done without having incompatible module interfaces (but
it's more complicated than the code you suggest).  But this buys very
little (try grepping for trashzle and the others), and it forces a
complete rebuild if the linked-in-ness of ZLE changes.  At the moment
I'm happily swapping modules in and out of my development executable,
only recompiling init.c each time.  (Remember, gdb can't debug
modules.)
