If anybody is trying to generate large libraries with Lattice's oml,
forget it.  I was trying to debug a large graphics library that is
around 230K in size without the debug info.  With the debug info it
would be substantially larger.  I don't know how much since oml fails
with a "library too large" error at around 250K.  I called their tech
support and was told "too bad, break it up in smaller libraries".
Obviously this is not the right answer.  This makes it impossible to
generate large libraries (like GKS) with Lattice.  I guess I'll have
to do it with Manx.  I know that their librarian does not crap out.
