Say what?!

What's this about initializing the heap in main?  I don't believe
that the GNU users have to do that.  It's a common detail, part of
the setup of just about any non-trivial program, full of
magic numbers, that belongs in the startup code!

And this makes CW code incompatable with GNU, without some further
#pragma crap.

As for me, I think I will look into modifying the startup code to put
this back where it belongs.  I will post further after I investigate
for anyone else who wants to do the same.
