Fair enough. I'm happy that it is so easy to change compile time
options. But I'm still interested in a more "intelligent" software
managing system for sometime down the road. One would have to do a
lot of prep work, however, it seems quite conceivable that one would
be able to leverage the softw
Actually I've been meaning to do up a document on this, for the benefit
