According to Jean Ichbiah, Who By All Rights Ought To Know If ANYONE ON THE
PLANET Ought To, an Ada runtime can be written in 4K.  Strictly speaking,
that was 4K Storage_Units.  The Ada runtime for the TI 320C30/C40
floating-point DSP did in fact fit in 4K words (at one instruction per word,
I should add).
