Is it so hard to write a wrapper for exec(2) to do roughly the same
thing?  What's gained by turning binaries into libraries this way?

(Note I'm not arguing against libraries with a good abstraction
barrier, etc. just don't see the point in turning every binary into
the same front end to a different library.)
