Right... the register packet would have to change, which could be critical to
some drivers (and of course, the kernel and file managers).

A simple way around that would be to have the interrupt kernel code move the W
register someplace else, and also diddle with signal intercept routines, but
it'll take some thinking on what is the best method (whole hog or hack?) to
handle things.

Another note is this: if I recall correctly, Basic09 *cheats* in its intercept
routine, and looks for the DP reg on the intercept stack.  That'll have to be
patched as well.
