I was planning on just one release per platform.  In the long run, we  
could provide CPU-specific builds, but its too much work for me right  
now.  If anyone wants to take that project on, I would gladly help.   
Basically, there needs to be a standardized method of specifying  
optimization flags.  This is working the pd/src/makefile and  
externals/Makefile now, but things that aren't based on that don't  
get the flags (cyclone, zexy, Gem, pdp, pidip,...).

Most of what is involved is just having standard names for a Makefile  
variable for the optimization flags.  Then the necessary variables  
can be easily overridden from the Makefile that calls the others.   
Check packages/*/Makefile for examples. Right now, that standard name  
is OPT_CFLAGS.
