You know, I honestly have no clue. This might actually be the excuse I've
needed to try kerneld. :)
I can also reduce the size somewhat. Almost to half I think. However, I'll
need a *little* more space when I add the ascii art support.... :)

Well, I think this serves as a better demonstration when it doesn't come out
with the kernel proper.... ``This is how you set up an independent module''
kind of thing. I'd rather not make such a silly application an integral
part of the kernel, then someone has to maintain it there forever, and lord
knows we have enough kernel source tree bloat as it is....

Well, good. :)
