> - Patched icc to allow optimized code to run on non-Intel processors

	Doing some quick tests, I don't seem to get any speed difference on a K8
(Opteron 246 @ 2 GHz) between a POV-Ray 3.6.1 binary that I used for my study*
built with icce 8.1 and the same binary patched with Mark Mackey's perl script
that removes the test for the "GenuineIntel" CPUID string.
	Did you use a different patch, and could you provide benchmark results for
an unpatched binary as well?

(*) the k8-icce-8.1-ip-axW binary, for which the raw results are not reported
