Sigh, you must have been convinced somewhere that I don't know the EDG
options, or how to pass them. I said "when possible", exactly because
of that. Furthermore Intel for Windows is an odd beast: a lot of EDG
switches *don't* work with it or have strange interactions, and if you
ask Intel they'll say "What? You used Qoption? No, sorry, then you are
on your own, all that we support is Microsoft compatibility".

Genny.
