Really, Greg ... we should sit down with Bruno and discuss his Ashes 2=20
benchmarking framework.  I think we need ONE benchmark system for the=20
whole of Sable, so that nobody wastes time with these little scripts=20
anymore.  It will require learning Python though.

Compiling SableVM is a separate matter though, and as for the=20
compilation stuff in sources-compile-install, look at

http://www.sable.mcgill.ca/~cpicke/files/permute-options

and you'll see how it can be useful almost immediately to generate all=20
possible combinations of options (okay, I just realized it should=20
probably be called "combine-options" ...)

Cheers,
Chris
