The only problem with libstand is that it is not really designed
to link against normal programs. There are a lot of shims in there
to simulate system calls, like lseek() and sbrk().
But I don't see why we couldn't create a mini-c library that is based
on the portable pieces of libc and libstand, just like libstand takes
advantage of the portable pieces of libc. So, for example, we
could take advantage of libstand's kprintf() core and getopt(),
and libc's string functions, and only introduce a poor-man's stdio
(or maybe even use libc's stdio if it isn't too big).
