I'm game for this.  I just worry that it works fine for all sample  
programs 500 lines or less and on nothing larger.  I'd rather have a  
real user evaluate it in the context of a use pattern and tell us now  
it performs for them.

In the various scheme we've done, and we've done a few, leaving the  
debugging information in the .o files and having a utility to boost  
them out and save them, if you need to do that, is the current winner.
