:Okay, here's the next step in the CPUTYPE integration: adding it to
:COPTFLAGS automatically.  I also updated the default COPTFLAGS value
:to "-O -pipe" from "-O" to match the documentation and because it's
:just better.  I would have liked to get this in to 4.3, but that's
:probably not going to happen because the changes need public airing
:first.

:Comments welcome.

    The last time -pipe was mentioned there was a whole hullabaloo
    about not being able to compile on low-memory systems, but I
    personally am all for turning it on by default because it will make
    a big difference for 'most' people.

    Besides, even people w/ low-memory machines will have swap (or they
    are completely bonkers), and even though they'll bog down a bit compiling
    the GCC and PERL subsystems it will still go a whole lot faster compiling
    most everything else.
