For now, unpack your Parrot tarball, (if you're reading this, you've
probably already done that) and type
- perl Configure.pl
+ perl Configure.pl --optimize
to run the Configure script. The Configure.pl script extracts
configuration
from the running perl5 program. You may need to explicitly tell
Configure.pl

I object to this change for two reasons.
First, on one platform I use, Parrot does not PASS 'make test' when I
configure with '--optimize'.
Second, I think a change in our README about how our users ought to
start out building Parrot really warrants more discussion than what
little I could find on #parrot today. It appears to have been a
spur-of-the-moment decision. I think this should have been a Trac
ticket with type RFC.
I would really like to see this reverted until we can discuss it more
thoroughly.
Thank you very much.
