Yep.  I've been moving the ELF-specific bits into elfread.c for the
last hour.  For Windows this should be easy, since it looks like DLLs
are always relocated by a single offset; does Windows CE relocate text
and data by different amounts, or is there still a single image base?

You're probably right; then corelow can implement the 
to_get_shared_libraries method.

Yes please.  I'll try to combine all the pieces.
