Hmm. That could be a double-edged sword: If we rebase everything into 
high memory and also mark the dlls ASLR-aware, windows might very well 
stuff everything back into the crowded low address space.

Unfortunately I don't have time this week to play around with this, or 
I'd be reporting actual results instead of speculation...
