globals.asm was a hack that: - gave rgbasm an extra 100k lines to read - increased reliance on the python preprocessor - made the makefile a mess - gave object creation an extra step - wasn't even necessary This speeds up build time by at least a third.
instead of running a process for each file, one process handles all files rgbasm requires label EXPORT definitions for cross-object compiling. this is handled by globals.asm
