Heh, this somehow reminds me about the way shared libraries were
implemented on the Amiga.
No linking step; the function entry points were essentially a
big jump table in the library structure with every function having
a unique offset from the library's base.
Proved to make it very simple to patch OS functions too: just
patch the jump address in the jump table to jump to the patched
library function...
