       DICE does not have registerized parameters or inline library calls.
       Frankly, anybody who appreciates such options also knows that simply
       optimizing one or two of his core routines will get better results
       anyway and these so called features only make the code less portable
       and more unreadable :-).

What - you expect us to do _all_ the work? :-)

Seriously, I find the registerized parameters/inline library call in
Lattice usefull; the first program I cut over to them picked up about
20% (not bad for just upgrading the program to the new compiler). The
only portability hit is having to provide/disable prototypes for
functions that want registerized parameters. Since I like prototypes
anyway, that's no big deal. More importantly, done right, they makes
doing shared libraries somewhat saner.

So, do you have any plans to add them to DICE?

Second question: Support for things other than the 68000? You didn't
mention it. Is it there?
