Summary: template/Makefile produces unusable code on G4

Initial Comment:
the template Makefile unconditionally sets the "-fast" optimiziation flag on Darwin.

unfortunately, on PowerPC this produces code that will only run on G5 processors, and not on G4.
this results in unloadable externals (Pd bails out with "no matching architecture in universal wrapper")

Pd-extended ppc builds override the OPT_CFLAGS (adding "-mcpu=7450" to also support G4), thus the problem does not occur there.

i think the template/Makefile should work on as much platforms as possible (eventually at the cost of less performance), so i suggest throwing away the "-fast" flag.
