Well, strange as it may seem, this was a bit of a false alarm.  It does
compile fine, but it takes several minutes!  I was just so use to nothing
taking more than five seconds that after thirty seconds I paniced (I'm
sure there is an important lesson here).  I spent several hours commenting
out various chunks of the routine, and noticed that it would work, but it
sometimes took a while (but far enough below my panic threshold to not
cause me to kill it).  And while I had all optimizations on, I'm not
convinced that that is related, since I got the same behaviour if I only
did "Check Syntax" (which I assumed would not generate code, much less
optimize it, unless some of the optimizations are done in then).

So, everything is OK, and I didn't just go temporarily insane.  Back to
thinking about SOM wrappers for OpenDoc...
