There is not really any point in making them compile time options if we
just as easily can make them runtime options.

In particular the infrastructure for documenting param.set is much better
than for compile time params.

The VDD sort-of-consensus was to have two or maybe three levels of
param.*

 * no options:
	workspaces, timeouts, thread-pool + other often used params
	preferably not enough to scroll out of typical windows
 * -d
	debug/developer params
 * -something (-x for expert ?)
	all non-wizard params
 * -a
	all params
