Re: Reorganizing -flto and -fwhopr command line options (Was Re: WHOPR partitioning, take 2)

Hi,
on a second tought, I wold suggest
 -flto
   stay what it is, that is non-streaming single process
 -flto=1
   same as -flto
 -flto=n
   same as -fwhopr=n
 -flto=jobserv
   same as -fwhopr=jobserv
 -flto -flto-partition-XXXX
   same as -fwhopr with given partitioning algorithm.  Useful primarily for a
   testsuite I guess.

The rationale is that at the moment I don't seem to be able to justify defaulting to -fwhopr=1
with -flto.  It would just make users to wait longer for streaming and fill their /tmp directories.
We can always change it once streaming is more effective since it is transparent.
