The big problem I see with the ArtWorks module system is that it doesn't
appear to be possible to write code in e.g. C, then link it into a module.
The whole module system seems to be geared towards ARM assembler development,
which is pretty impractical for the scripting engine I had planned.
I'm sure there's some way to do it, it's just that I haven't found the magic
incantation that makes GCC and AW work together :)
