 the -Wall is automagically added when gcc is found. however u can disable
 this feature by editing autoconf/configure.in and commenting out lines 77
 to 81. then run autoconf in the autoconf/ directory - this will create
 new configure for u. move it to the base directory and run again. u won't
 have -Wall added.
 
 [Ethan: this flag could be taken out, as it's mainly needed for debugging
 purposes]

 yes, those can be used. did u have any problems with compiling Script
 besides some warnings about implicit declarations?

 okay, first back up your ~/G directory. start AS again. also check the
 new format of look files. look at new options in feel files etc. also,
 are u sure all the modules got installed on their places? are those
 modules in your PATH?
