Some simple changes to makefile (removing unknown -mno-cygwin, g++ 
instead of cc) and it compiled cleanly on Linux. On a heavily loaded 
486/66DX 24MB RAM and -O0 compile flag it didn't exceed 1sec with any of 
the data sets (0.91s  with data set 5), usually ranging 0.2-0.5s which 
is very promising (and not a likely platform to run Firefox...).


Some more notices:
-O3 instead of -O0 reduced the time by maybe 10% while increasing 
compile time by 1000% or more. Not that it would be frequently compiled 
on 486 and even if so, that we couldn't wait 1 minute for the compile to 
finish.
Sempron 2400: all <0.1s
Segfaults on file missing. Of course I understand this is pre-alpha 
quality :)
