Sun documentation claims that K&R requires that all float calculations
be performed in double precision. Sun's compiler provides -fsingle
to use single precision. gcc appears to use single precision for floats.
This is fine by me, but is it what you really want?

another question: I could leave out -traditional except for 
comments in preprocessor macros. I don't suppose that you
would consider distinguishing more finely.
