Can I nominate 'cat'? :-)

Ok, so it's not very full-featured (doesn't validate input, doesn't 
check for duplicate functions, only supports static "linking"), but for 
simple cases, I think it would get the job done. Do we really need 
something more complicated at this point?

Your eyes are weary from staring at the CRT. You feel sleepy. Notice how 
restful it is to watch the cursor blink. Close your eyes. The opinions 
stated above are yours. You cannot imagine why you ever felt otherwise.
