 This should work as expected, i.e. just add -pg option wherever needed to
make it possible to profile the binary with gprof or another profiler. To
be honest, I've never used it so I don't know if it works.

SK>  --with-experimental     compile experimental code

 Roughly speaking, this defines EXPERIMENTAL macro which allows to include
testing code which is disabled by default but activated with this option.
More usefully (and this is a really nice thing, I don't know who thought
about it first but it was implemented here by Greg Noel (credit where it's
due...)), you can also do something like --with-experimental=foo,bar and it
would define EXPERIMENTAL_FOO and EXPERIMENTAL_BAR which allows to have
several simultaneous "experiments" going on and, finally, it also
predefines EXPERIMENTAL_`whoami`, i.e. EXPERIMENTAL_zeitlin for me, which
allows to test my own private code without having to invent special unique
macros for it.

SK>  --with-palm             include support for Palm Pilot

 This one is self explanatory: it adds support for Palm stuff
(synchronization with Palm and maybe something else, I don't knwo for
sure). Right now it's broken but I'll try to fix it as we now have someone
who can test it with a real Palm (I haven't got any).
