I meanwhile changed the code-generator to not produce fluid-style
and that also changed a few other things for the better(*), so I'm 
quite glad of the riddance, although I haven't yet bothered to
remove the -J-Xss1m option, so still can't say yet if that really
was it about excessive javac-stack-use ;-)


(*): not directly related to the fluid-style itself, but to the
overall approach.

PS: I vaguely remember having posted something fluid-style related 
a while ago (about type-safety within the fluid), but that's not
the one I changed now.
