Seems like too much to go in to start anyway. And I am lazy

So something like start.exe.so in Unix mode would set a variable like
VERSBOSE_USERDEBUG or which then we could query in the loader using
RtlQueryEnvironmentVariable_U or something that would trigger the
MessageBox from the example code I already wrote in ntdll?
