[ILUG] C vs. C++

[John P. Looney]

 Just compiled up Oscar (public key server) there. C++ software.
Accidentally left the -g flag in the compile line. It generated a 30MB
static library and a 13MB shared library. Wow. That's impressive. Took out
the -g option, and it came down to ~2MB. 

 Anyone know why C++ has so much extra debugging stuff in there, compared
to C ?
