Well, 'name' is no longer really used, and 'heap' is used for 16-bit
dlls, where specifying it in the makefile would be inconvenient. And
I'm hoping to make 'init' default to DllMain one day... So I'm not
sure we would use these command line options at all. But if you want
to add them anyway I don't mind.

Note that you can do that today, you just need two separate build
trees so it's a bit inconvenient. I'm planning to make it possible to
build everything inside the same tree one of these days.
