The thing is that one need only have an include file. Let the
application get the cookie and the pointer in the cookie should point to
a structure of functions. This way there is no need for any library
routines, since all these calls are effectively added to the OS
except that in this case you can remove this part of the OS when running
in single tasking mode.
BTW again this is about implementation, while we might first want to go
into the issue of functionality.
