Well, when you cast something (say xpdf) that may cause other things to be
cast,
so its not just cut and dry all the time...

What im saying is that --cflags says that of those spells that will be
compiled,
the custom cflags will be used. If you wanted those cflags applied to
everything
that got cast, then you use -c to force everything to compile. On the other
hand, i might just want new things to build with those options. If --cflags
implies that everything has to be compiled, then I have to cast the things i
can
resurrect seperately, on the other hand, if --cflags is completely ignored if
-c
is not specified, then im in the same boat, I have to resurrect the things i
can
resurrect and cast -c everything else, which is inconvenient.

So it removes the ability to have partial compilation and resurrect in cast
with
overriding cflags on new spells.

Enough devil's advocate...

I suppose this brings up what the intent of the command line args were
originally, which was to suppliment the user's regularly scheduled
optimization
flags, and not something the user does all the time for large casts, for large
casts you normally specify flags in the optimization menu, so i guess the
functionality above is still there, regardless of this change...you just cant
access it via command line. Your situation of casting one spell is more along
the lines of what most people would do with the feature and seems least
surprising.

Hows that for both wining and losing an argument with myself? ;)

Given the large and wide response I got on the mailing list, you seem to be
the
only person who cares about the issue, so we'll go with your change and see if
someone complains :-)
