No inherent limit. You'll have to find a way to pass them all, though. On
the command line it's limited to 128 characters of args; from a Makefile,
about 16K; from a response file, there's a bug which limits it to about
256K, but will be fixed in the next release.

As many as you want, AFAIK. It may break if your file goes over 2GB due to
DOS limitations.

Memory is probably the limitation here: CWSDPMI can't give you more than
512MB of virtual memory, and Windows 64MB :(. But GCC's memory requirement
is mainly dependent on the size of each *function*, unless you compile with -O3.
I wouldn't worry about any of these.
