What's a DLL?  One of our primary goals is to keep the core code platform
independent.  This doesn't bode well for big piles of #ifdefs and such,
and it pretty much nixes any idea of using dynamically loaded code, which 
doesn't exist on every platform we support.

The detect-CPU-at-install method doesn't work if you upgrade your computer
a piece at a time (frex, the computer I have now is a K6-2/350, but three
months ago it was a K6/233, and a year or two before that it was a 486SLC2/66.
The hard drive has also been replaced, but not at the same time as either 
of the processors.)
