Please don't recommend that option to people with 96MB RAM!
KSpread, e.g., eats about 115MB during compilation and other
KOffice applications require similar amounts of memory. This
means that the machine will start to swap and you will even
lose speed compared to a plain compilation.

I'd recommend at least 196MB RAM for people trying to compile
with --enable-final.
