tlink

[mrs at wrs dot com (Mike Stump)]

Jason, you remember the `we don't instantiate templates when -r is
given' problem?  I was wondering if we want to add an option to
instantiate templates if we're doing a partial link?

We can do it always by default, or do it never, or do it when an
option is given.  Which do you prefer?  If you prefer an option, let
me know the spelling you prefer and the default, and I can add it.

The below enables gcc to instantiate templates, when -r is given,
always.
