Is this standard documented (where?), please? I ask because the
script that generates these has few comments, so it's a little
difficult to know what will break when 'meddling' :-) with it.

I know that could sound aggressive/negative, but I don't intend that
tone.  Sometimes the most useful thing I can do is post test
results, so I'd at least like to do that right.

Aside to those finding the criticisms hard to take: For my part, GCC
has given years of good service, but to raise a problem efficiently
means leaving out the appropriate proportion of praise.

         Thank you
         Hugh
