I've more or less given up on compaq-cc for the time being, because
system header changes kept breaking the port all the time.  This
may be less of a problem on -STABLE.

I have previously built the Ogg Vorbis collection (libao, libogg,
libvorbis, vorbis-tools) with ccc, and this gave substantial speed
gains for encoding audio tracks.  I forgot the numbers, but basically
my PC164-500 went from quite a bit worse than real time to quite a
bit better than real time.

Much of the actual gains might not be due to ccc itself but rather
to the optimized math library, libcpml.
