Somehow I get the sneaking feeling it wouldn't really be worth all the
hassle: By the time everything compiles cleanly computer power will have
dropped suffciently in power to render the exercise futile ;)
Seriously though, I agree that recompiling the above bits would probably
take the distro up to the edge of diminishing returns. But, hey, if someone
has the time, I'm all for it.
BTW, does pcgc use 3dnow yet?
