Relative Chains are actually fairly well optimized and easy to use. By
using relative addresses (delta between successive links) they are not
dependent on absolute addresses. This latter is not as much of an issue
on OS X as previously (when each time you load an application it would
load into a different address), since on the same version of OS X, our
code and data areas get assigned the same locations. However, I could
not be certain that the data area addresses would be the same between a
snapshot and a Turnkey, nor between different versions of OS X.
