I'm not sure why it is that people seem to think that the order is
important in this regard. As long as the executable filename
immediately follows the "-o" switch, it will work correctly (assuming
all other arguments are correct). So,
	
	gxx -o prog.exe prog.cpp

Is just as valid (However, "gxx -o prog.cpp prog.exe" is not).
