As far as I know, the only real difference is greater speed and memory
usage.  I haven't really used the combined c.comp much.  It seemed to
have the same limitations as the two-pass compiler, at least in the
instances I specifically tried on it.

(If you wanna be fussy, it's still a two-pass compiler, just in a
single executable, rather than two seperate modules using an
intermediate file.)
