For GnuCvs-1-MC I would suggest both "--level 1" and "--max-level 1".
After looking through the code I'm not convinced that it does the
sensible thing with only "--max-level 1".

Otherwise it looks good.

Well, "--cache-size 512" probably doesn't make much good. That cache
isn't used by the Monte Carlo code and its size has turned out to be
rather uncritical after the involved code was last revised, long ago
now. I never bother changing the default size myself. On the other
hand, unless you're short on memory, it probably doesn't hurt either.
