Thanks.


So README suggests recompiling all my libraries with -fsquangle.  I see two
potential problems with this:
	1) What about people who don't use egcs and thus have no -fsquangle
option? (I'm using an OSF1 machine at my office and they don't have egcs on it.)
	2) It's _insane_ to ask people to recompile all of their libraries 
	(including libgcc, according to the egcs web page:
	 http://egcs.cygnus.com/onlinedocs/gcc_2.html#SEC7) to use KDE
	for reasons of limited time, space, and permissions.

Has anyone found a better solution?  Would simply using shorter names help, or
have I misunderstood this problem?

Dave
