OMG, sorry Kat that's a colossally bad idea, and not just in my opinion I would
bet.
If I download someone else's Euphoria code I want to know that I won't have to
recompile my Euphoria interpreter in order to run it.
It _is_ a good idea in terms of a configure option for people who want to
compile their own interpreter for their own use, in for example an embedded
application, but that's something that would be done by someone who already knows
what they are doing. Don't present options like that to the wider community, it
will cause mass confusion and abandonment of the language.
(If that sounds dire enough).
