	So where are these "good" compilers. I would certainly like to be
using one. (would cut down on the amount of assembler I have to do). It would
be nice if all these people who tell us assembler is mostly un-necessary
because of "good" compilers would stop trying to convince us with arguments,
and prove their point by contributing a "good" register allocator and load
scheduler to gcc, so that we can try it out !
