Thought ya did that based on the speed I saw last night when rendering
benchmark.pov with the new binary (dated 8/7). I agree with the need
to keep it portable. That's probably why it's statically linked too.
Even so, your "compatible" optimizations improved the speed from
55m to 34m. I think that's a really good improvement!

You could also try the Intel compiler at some point if you're feeling
adventurous. From looking at Micha's speed postings, the Intel compile
was a bit faster than the gcc one.
