+Note that the UNROLL option makes the 'inner' des loop unroll all 16 rounds
+instead of the default 4.
+RISC1 and RISC2 are 2 alternatives for the inner loop and
+PTR means to use pointers arithmatic instead of arrays.

+Notes.
+[1] For the ultra sparc, SunC 4.0 cc -fast -Xa -xO5, running 'des_opts'
+ gives a speed of 475,000 des/s while 'speed' gives 417,000 des/s.
+ I belive the difference is tied up in optimisation that the compiler
+ is able to perform when the code is 'inlined'. For 'speed', the DES
+ routines are being linked from a library. I'll record the higher
+ speed since if performance is everything, you can always inline
+ 'des_enc.c'.
+[2] Similar to the ultra sparc ([1]), 181,000 for 'des_opts' vs 175,000.
+[3] I was unable to get access to this machine when it was not heavily loaded.
+ As such, my timing program was never able to get more that %30 of the CPU.
+ This would cause the program to give much lower speed numbers because
+ it would be 'fighting' to stay in the cache with the other CPU burning
+ processes.
