Yes, I think so. This list will be pretty small. Because... the internal 
RAM is also small. Only a few selected programs will come into this 
list. It's not HUGE programs, it's "programs with need for speed".

So if you have extra RAM, what build would YOU prefer?

Yes, of course.

I don't think that start_pixil and have_extra_ram is the same...

I have commited the 2 nds-files solution to svn. Let's look how users 
think about it!

(It was pretty easy to do, and the makefile has needed a cleanup 
anyway).
