This is not necessarily complete, but it has at least the beginnings
of a coherent policy.  If it seems this is working out, I'll probably
at some point make a 'mega-commit' that make everything correspond to
this.  Step-by-stepping as I did with the initial option conversion
risk too much breakage and is 'impossible' to do proper tests for each
step for.

The main missing part for a full policy is how to handle DIAGNOSTIC
and DEBUG.  There seemed to be agreement on -hackers on this, but I
feel it as too early to formalize that.

Eivind.
