	I was wondering what that meant.  The new mintlib readme metions 
-mpcrel (or something).  What does this mean; under what conditions will
gcc generate non-pc-relative code?  Does the new gcc support both shared 
and private data in the same program?
	I would also like to bother you about tcsh.  I have version 6.00.02,
and it doesn't complete dir names.  Is 6.02.00 available?  Also, would it 
be fairly simple to support threading and other options through shell_p?
And finally, how come tcsh needs such a huge stack?
