My plan was to embed arbitrary sized files directly into the data memory after 
the wasm file was created. But I think you're right, it ends up only working 
with simple wasm programs, more complex code crashes somewhere during 
`__wasm_call_ctors` with the approach I took.

I guess custom sections would be the official route but I was hoping to avoid 
having to pass the entire data through JavaScript before it reaches WASM land.

Also I'm very sorry to have hijacked this patch discussion with something very 
different. If you have some more hints for me how I could accomplish this I'd 
very gladly hear them, but if this is the wrong place we should probably leave 
it at that. Thank you for your time!
