Might look uglier, but has the advantage of not generating an empty
segment with the default name… *and* the default padding, which will
really come in handy with the following breakthrough.

There's the better name, in ALLCAPS for improved grepping. TH01 is also
going to need a pseudo-binary to bundle translation units that appear
in more than one .EXE, and since "segment 2" would be wrong for that
game, it makes more sense to have one consistent name for these
pseudo-binaries in all games.

Oh, wait. Due to ridiculously unlucky alignment, we can't actually
approach TH03's OP.EXE from the top of code segment 2… without
covering way too many functions at once, that is.
At least TH02 works out with "just" three functions at once. *If* we
add seg2 back to OP.EXE, where we previously needed to delete it… 😵

Which works in both Borland C++, Open Watcom, and Visual C++.
Not that we're about to port any of the games to these compilers, just
something I noticed while evaluating 32-bit compilers for ReC98's own
32-bit pipeline tools. Modders might want to look into that though,
since 100% position independence also makes it easier to change
compilers.
Only one code segment left in both OP and FUUIN! its-happening.gif
Yeah, that commit is way larger than I'm comfortable with, but none of these
functions is particularly large or difficult to decompile (with the exception
of graph_putsa_fx(), which I actually did weeks ago), and OP and MAIN have
their own unique functions in between the shared ones, so…
