memory-mapping the image file

Hi all--

	Well, I was able to start the system with the bulk image read happening
from a memory-mapped file view instead of a regular file handle. But
when I tried to stop using a separate heap space altogether I ran into
trouble in readImageFromFileHeapSizeStartingAt(). In the translated code
for loadInitialContext, I get an address for sched that is below
memStart. I suppose something went wrong in initializeObjectMemory();
something didn't get shifted properly?

	Hopefully, one of you can figure it out.

	My modifications are at
http://netjam.org/smalltalk/sources/wince/memoryMapping.zip.


	thanks,

-C
