possibility to do so by setting one or two envvars rather than hacking
into the code.

nonsensical combinations without any benefit. Some user will fall into the
spike-filled traps and then complain (rightfully) why some combination of
envionment variables causes everything to crash and burn.

also originally called gccwrapper until somebody on this ticket pointed
out the stupidity of it.

wrapper. Bang, your compiler is now gone. I'm sure this will be a crowd-
pleaser.
