+* reduce binary size
+** currently (2011/12/05) is 3megs... most of it from kg*.o
+** 1st culprite klisp_assert:
+** almost 1 meg comes from klisp_asserts, asserts also add
+ considerably to the compilation time
+** add a flag to enable assertions (maybe debug) and disable
+ it by default
+** fix warnings when assertions are turned off (probably unitialized
+ uses, unused variables, etc)
+** 2nd culprite debugging symbols:
+** 1 meg and a half comes from debugging symbols, they also add to
+ the compilation time
+** add a flag (maybe the same as for asserts, maybe another one) to
+ include debug symbols and disable it by default
+** After removing asserts & symbols the size is reduced to a more
+ manageable 500k, however it would be nice to bring that even
+ lower
