I found a pretty decent one-file FORTH in K&R C and tried to port it to
v7.  Too many symbols in that one file.  So then I tried breaking each
FORTH word out into its own file and linking a bunch of tiny little .o
files, and that was too many files for the linker.

I'm sure there's a sweet spot in there somewhere but at that point it's
probably just easier to sit down and write a FORTH.  Which I haven't yet
done.
