RE: ILE philosophy

I believe one binding directory for every program is overkill and way too
much maintenance.  A service program in a binding directory that isn't used
by the program in no way affects the final program object, not in size or
execution.  By referencing your compile options in the H spec there is no
need to do the CRTPGM step anyway, all compiles can use the CRTBNDRPG
single-step compile.
