Doh. Knew I'd forget SOMETHING. As of this point, and since my main goal
was to get USB support working, this is compiled with Pentium
optimizations. I plan on compiling a 486 version of it as well, but to the
best of my knowledge, there's no 486s with USB support out there, so I
made a choice. I'll notify everyone when the 486 tarballs are up.
