Details:

This patch makes mkoctfile treat -f* and -m* options passed to it in the same
way as -W* ones, i.e. it passes it further along to the compiler. This is
handy mostly for e.g. -ffast-math, which can give a noticable speedup in some
circumstances. The "-P:" option to mkoctfile serves to pass along arbitrary
options.


A second patch updates the usage help for mkoctfile.

Btw, I'm confused at this one:

-W...                   Pass flags to the compiler such as -Wa,OPTION.

It sounds as though you could pass anything, but I couldn't get -ffast-math
through no matter how contrived I wrote it, hence this patch.
