Another brief note on arranging your working disks for Lattice.  Someone
pointed out that you could remove comments and such from the include files
to gain space; this also gains compile-time speed, so it's doubly good.
I wrote some code to strip comments out of files in this fashion.  Almost
exactly half of the files in the include directory turn out to be
disposable...  This gives you about 144K more on your compiler disk.

If anyone is interested in my quickly-hacked code trimmer, drop me a line.
It's an interesting exercise:  removing comments from code is actually
somewhat nontrivial.
