- contiguous RAM, there's some STACK needed, all in all you'd really have to
- do clever things to get a compile thru. Besides, it's no fun at all working
- in such an environment.. 5M ram seems to be a good lower limit for C++,
- although you *can* use it with less ram.

- You don't need 2.0 to run gcc/g++, but it's a good idea to get it anyway.
