Just started looking at your branch before the holidays. The 'unresolve' logic for 
pre-linked ELFs is missing and some of the calculations need to be biased 
appropriately. I don't have the necessary domain knowledge, but I do have time, 
so if someone could nudge me in the right direction ...

Running regressions now, I have a couple of questions coming your way.
