I simply added ctor_size and dtor_size to the *image*, *lx* and
*program* structures. This allows the program manager to calc the start
and end of these segments.

It wasn't as hard as I had thought. I have the fix working, but need to
clean it up a bit (and do some more testing)
Question: Should this be an OPTION in config.h or a permanent update?
Currently, I #ifdef'd all the code, but it seems like a reasonable piece
of code and doesn't add much to the size of the kernel.
