The /kernel/obj/ version is not much more than a wrapper around the
/kernel/lib/wiztool.c object which contains all the functionality.

I assume the reason there is one in the kernel is because the lib
needs to be able to function in the default setup when there is no
/usr/System/ to speak of.  This way the kernel-lib can be distributed
and upgraded without interfering with local versions of files there.
