I've still got a bit to learn about how to do some of this stuff.  I've 
done a lot of programming (I started in 1966) but I'm just learning CVS, 
etc.  I just switched my symlinks to use gcc-3.2 and 'make deb' is 
successfully at the Metafont stage as I write this.  That takes a long 
time on a K6II-350!!

I don't yet know where to make that change.  I do know that it's the 
optimization level.

or quite how to do that.

I realize that you have a pretty common last name but do you know an 
astronomer named Hans Nieuwenhuijzen from Utrecht (Bunnik)?  We both 
worked on Forth in the 1970's and 1980's.
