There are two parts to this.  There is the assembly coded parts of Mesa (for
3Dnow & SSE) and there are compile switches for GCC.  For example, we may
wish to see if there are any benefits to building a version with
'-mcpu=i686' or '-mcpu=k6' or ... in host.def.  If the performance
difference is neglegable, then we might at least consider changing the
option to '-mcpu=i486 -march=i686'.  Are 80386 or 80486 CPUs even supported
by DRI?  Heh..."So I put my PCI Radeon DDR in with my 486SX 20, and RtCW
wouldn't run because I only had 8MB..." :)
