Yes, I didn't fix these problems. I've been fairly lazy, I must admit this.

How do you let the user choose the CPU he wants to optimize for? That was the 
first purpose of what I did - optimizing for 386 isn't exactly the best thing 
to do (and we've done this, till the menu was introduced).

We can restrict the choices in the menu, for now, with a dependency on ! UML 
for the ones which don't work (i.e. the ones using 3DNow in string 
operations, IIRC). M686, Athlon and likely Pentium 4 work at least.
