[Speex-dev] Would be nice to conditionally compile out coding modes and code tables...

There's already a --disable-wideband (and corresponding
DISABLE_WIDEBAND) option in the code, so I'm not sure what your patch is
supposed to add. Also, disabling narrowband doesn't make sense because
it's used by the wideband code.

There's actually a much simpler way of making everything contiguous. All
you need to do is allocate (or reserve or whatever) a big block yourself
and override speex_alloc() and speex_free() (and speex_alloc_scratch if
you don't have a C99 compiler) to distribute that memory explicitly.

Anything that you need that isn't covered by the explanations above?
