Hmm, it will have to do it if it understands the keywords. _fastcall isn't
simply an optimisation - it is a completey different calling convention,
and if it ignored them, then the code would crash.

Not much chance of that, no. :)  I did hobble together the os/2 hosted
version of MSC 7 to compile and link OS/2 code, but debugging support was
poor (the os/2 hosted msc7 had no codeview, and CV from MSC6 for OS/2 did
not support the new 32-bit debugging records that MSC7 output). In any
case, it is well past the time where 16-bit compilers are useful for
applications work. Intel users have had 32-bit CPUs for 7 years, and it is
about time we used them as they were designed.  :)
