this is also good.
however, i think Build flags & runtime flags are sufficiently important
so that they should be obvious to find. the name ''log'' sounds more
like something that can be easily overlooked. i we changed the name to
''language tuning'' (actually to something much better :-) i think the
log page is the right thing.

again, this is good. (and the statment itself is even better. it
highlights the current problem, ie the shootout discusses only compiled
vs the-rest, when the-rest is quite a lot of very different things)
