Also, should JVERSION mention avx if it has found/upgraded to that engine?

Eric,
I'm befuddled by the NOTE: in your announcement. The install j901 beta-h went
fine, I assumed you intended '' instead of a single ' ...
But, when I did my usual benchmark, it took twice as long as the version
(beta-g) that was replaced. Then I reread your note and ran it again (with no
change in timing results).
Looking at https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/System/Installation/Zips I don't
see any indication that there are different versions available. I applaud the
intent that "An initial install JE will run on all hardware and does not
require advance hardware." However, that seems to conflict with the statement
on the Zips page where it says, "J901 is available only in J64 AVX versions"
What am I missing? How can I get the zippy AVX version running on my Mac
(without regressing to j807)?
