  The best way is to make the compiler call a symbol so that other
compilers can be used.  If you want to have portable makefiles, do this!

  Since you don't want to correct everyone's mistakes, you can just
use a script file called 'cc' that calls 'fpcc'.  Argument passing
may be tricky but it's your choice of evils.
