-   This module writes out the final image by reading sections from the
-   input files, relocating them and writing them out
-
-   There are two main paths through this module, one for normal
-   operation and one for partial linking. 
-
-   During  normal operation, raw section data is read along with the
-   associated relocation information, the relocation info applied and
-   the section data written out on a section by section basis.
-
-   When partially linking, all the relocation records are read to work
-   out how big the output relocation vector will be. Then raw data is
-   read, relocated and written section by section.
