I've find OPTLINK to hang and crash a lot when linking the wxD programs
on Windows XP. But every time I try to reproduce it, it goes away... :-(
So now I just run the "make" like three times in a row, and it usually
succeeds in building everything. And yeah, it's rather fast in doing so.
But I prefer the MinGW gdc/ld, since it works the first time but slower?
(well that and that I have problems getting DMC to work with SDL / GL)
