Looks promising, but there's no mention anywhere of what the format of 
the file is.  I'll see if I can figure it out from the ld sources, but 
do you know of an example somewhere?

The intent is to only ever have one version of the bootloader, ideally. 
 If I have space left over I might put a jump table in just in case, 
though I'd rather not have a double-jump for the interrupt vector... 
Maybe I can figure a well-known location (say right in the middle) for 
the interrupt vector, and just work the other functions around it if 
things move.
