	Cool!  Can I put in -O39696943125454932 and you'll save me from 
myself on that, too?  ;-)


	Seriously, I have to wonder why people can't take the 
recommendation that you should use nothing more than -O, and that 
anything more is only likely to increase your probability of 
crashing, toasting the system, etc....

	I'm sorry, at best here we're talking a few tenths of a 
percentage point of increased speed (if that), and maybe a few 
milliseconds saved -- right?
