Because I'd prefer to keep as much of the per-platform details (what
binary format is needed and so forth) concentrated in wrapper, rather
than scattered across multiple places. I agree we're not really doing
it the best way - I had some ideas for a nicer way to rewrite wrapper,
but I haven't had a chance to implement it yet.
