I don't believe that this is a "religious war" issue...but why do
ppl even *use* the stock C compilers anymore? I know at work we us all
GCC/G++ stuff, since its one helluva lot cheaper then picking up Sun's CC
compiler...I'm not advocating requiring GCC...just wondering one ppl
actually do use the stock compiler..
