Once I suggested something like command line option -stack=NNN for GCC.
It can be easily implemented in GCC specs if we have utility which permits to 
set stack size for command line without user manual action. One can try to use
stibedit for that (called after stubify by gcc only when -stack=NNN is 
specified in command line). Problem was that stubedit doesn't handle cases 
when name of generated executable is changed by stubify by adding '.exe'.
If stubedit would do the same all should be Ok.

But this requires changes to stubedit and will fail when .exe is added and 
user has old stubedit. So I think we still cannot relay on such feature even
if it is introduced soon (what could be nice)
