What I would like is some provision for the C compiler to key on
the name of the output program as an alternate entry point.  In
other words, given a frequently used "shell script" that seems
painfully slow, be able to "link" to the executable using a different
C "mainline".  Alternatively, it could key on the first "entry"
lable found.

In this case, the problem is more legal than technical, but
isn't really that ambiuous.
