The MacOS 9 component is currently an INIT not a
thng.

It should be possible to convert it to a thng
(removing the need for a reboot on installation).

This work means removing the shared libraries
and linking the code into the components where
necessary. This shouldn't cause as much bloat
now as it would of with earlier versions of the
component.

    it will probably be smaller, even. but this reduces
    source-level portability (a little).

    It didn't seem to reduce portablity, I only had to change
    the CodeWarrior project.

    It is about 130K larger, which comes from a copy of the
    vorbis libs linked into each component. The importer
    doesn't need much, only verify the first page and parse
    comments, that will save 100K or so.
