To set history straight
The -O6 has been in configure.in 'forever'
.
When PLib was first setup for gnu autotools we didn't have an autotools
expert on board and I borrowed a lot from the PGCC project
http://www.goof.com/pcg/
to include the recommended flags to get the 'most' from their compiler.

I am glad to say we have all learned a lot since then, and the right way is
of course is to not hardwire this into the configure script as is reflected
in
the current CVS.

Note that this allows for configure invocations such as
CXXFLAGS="-OMyWhatAmIDoing" ./configure

YMMV  :-)
