	If we're going to enumerate the circumstances wherein the 
	above view appears a bit "restricted":
		+ A new wind.o is installed
		+ A new kernel is installed (for some, a regular experience)
		+ 'ktune' changes the kernel's size by at least a page
		+ The system's RAM is switched from <=.5MB to >= 1MB,
			(or vice-versa -- Mega-YETCH !-)

	In other words, it's not a "reasonably good way of doing it"
	from some perspectives.
