Yes! These are the last changes in the alpha22-rc branch, from which
we can make it static.

Agreed. It is getting cluttered, not making best use of Wiki formatting.

In the HEAD cvs, -Wall should be added, agreed. -O3  (as opposed to
-O2 -g) was chosen because a user who knows how to use gdb will be
able to override compile settings. An average user will see a crash
and know nothing of how to solve it. When debugging with them, we can
simply tell them how to compile with -g. Other users, especially on
low cpu systems, can benifet from the noticable speed increase that
comes with -O3. If people strongly feel the differ, we can change
those options on the next release.

Agreed. The main tarball should also be tested before its official
release. I had one person test it and he said it ran. If there was
missing graphics, they usually cause a crash right at the beginning,
and his program ran so I'm assuming that files aren't missing.
