dt still has some nice features that wscons doesn't have, namely
cut'n'paste (yes, i know you can just use X for this, but that's a lot of
overhead compared to the couple hundred kb of dt :-)  it's also possible
that dt is faster, but i suppose that depends on how scott implements the
output side.  jonathan's persistent comments on wscon's slowness on mips
makes me wonder just how fast wscons is...
