If -current is now at a stage where simple assembly-language 
optimizations are desirable, another nice target would be the libc 
string functions on the amd64 (they're still built from the portable C 
sources).

I'm currently running using the attached files, adapted from NetBSD.  
Just untarring the contents in /usr/src will include them in a 
buildworld (without overwriting anything).
