[Python-Dev] _sre.c's compiled size

For the record ;) I've compiled _sre with -fno-inline, on a RH6.2 egcs-1.1.2
system, and I have to admit compilation is going a lot faster. About 1/10th
of the time, compared to without -fno-inline, which means it's about 1/100th
of the annoyance when compiling a lot ;-) Also, the resulting object file is
only 71K, instead of 440K, on my machine.

Overall speed of python, as measured by pybench, doesn't really change, but
pybench does not measure regexp speed at all, and I don't have a suitable
testpackage for that.

I've attached a teensy patch that allows '-f' flags to be used in
Setup files, to be able to easily switch between the two.
