I played with this a long time ago... the biggest non-portable thing
it did was pass structures by value into AES calls instead of passing
the individual arguments. This is something Lattice(?) allows and
Laser C doesn't. I also found that declaring the WIN *'s as register
WIN * when they're passed into routines reduced the code size by
10%... ah, for an optimizing compiler.
