Can you explain in more detail what limitation that is? I still can't
see why we need all these things set up even before main() is entered,
there's no code using any of these classes until at least the Core is
created. So Core::initialize() should be early enough for the creation
and initialization of the DUChain no?

Thats quite inconvenient IMHO, especially when working with multiple
sessions there's currently no way to find out the right one.
