No, I'm not using the WDT.  In my particular application, not much (if
anything) would be gained by sleeping on the WDT, since I'm just sitting there
generating waveforms and running a motor speed control loop.  I can save more
power by running at a slower clock speed.  Either way, the power consumption of
the PIC is miniscule compared to the motor and the LEDs.  Because of those
devices, this must be a line powered device.
