I haven't gotten much further than to start listing out the defs files, myself.

But, 'cause I ALWAYS try something out before reading the dox (grin), I simply
HAD to run a test comparison between the MW Compiler and this GNU C++ Compiler,
as it will 'try to imitate traditional C'.

I compiled a program of 27,375 bytes first with the MW compiler...it took 2:14
minutes, final outfile was 23,428 bytes.

Using GNU 1.40, it took 2:21 minutes, and, using the -O (for optimizer) option,
the final outfile was 22,806 bytes.

That really impressed the heck out of me.  Over 600 bytes optimized out, on a
compiler that says it will "TRY" to compile it.

Now, I gotta go buy some books on C++, so I can start to learn that
implementation of C.

Have fun!
