It would be nice to be able to use a base system without dynamic loading
(say, if you need a statically linked application, for example for an embedded
system). Currently the compiler itself needs all of these units, with
the exception
of "lolevel" (which is so lowlevel, it better belongs to the base system).

Tinyclos is only used by the easyffi, and the latter doesn't seem to
be used that
much (or can be replaced by SWIG). So these can safely move out.
