Getting the inline-threaded engine to work is tricky.  I suggest that
you live with the switch and threaded engines for a little time.  I'll
be improving the portability framework for the inline-threaded engine
in January 2003.  I'll add the following features:

1- *partly* automatic detection of inlinability of instructions (on a
specific architecture/compiler-options.

2- Better separation of inlinability specifications for specific
platform/compiler-options.


Of course, you can read chapter 2 of my thesis, when I put it online,
to get a better idea of the problem.  I just don't have time just now
to explain all the details.
