    7: 
    8: configure has the following useful parameters:

   11:    ingore this switch. On some CISC machines, direct threading isn't an
   12:    advantage over indirect threading.
   13: 
   14: -without-debug: omits the -g switch and creates smaller images on machines
   15:    where "strip" has problems with gcc style debugging informations.
