Well, I asked this before but didn't get an answer - why can't we work
with Jakub to have some new ELF flag/section to reserve a particular
area of memory for the win32 binary?

Hmm, also, what happens if the binary is >256mb? For instance, some very
large installers can go beyond that size. How does that work on Windows?
