[...regarding conditional moves on DEC's Alpha...]

For a reference on compilers, inlining conditional code, and GCC see:

"Eliminating Branches using a Superoptimizer and the GNU C Compiler" by
Granlund and Kenner in ACM SIGPLAN '92 pp. 341-352

The paper describes methods for inlining short conditional statements.  While
they give examples for the RS/6000, the techniques map nicely onto machines 
with conditional move instructions.
