Thanks to David O'Brien for upgrading -current's binutils.  This new
version supports AMD 3DNow! for the K6-2, K6-III, and Athelon folks.

Wanting 3DNow support in gas, I pulled a copy from CVS and built it for
3.4-RELEASE (w/ gdb commented out).  Now Mesa and friends detect and build
in 3DNow support for Mesa on -stable.

For other -stable folks that want to give it a shot, just fetch copies of
src/contrib/binutils and src/gnu/usr.bin/binutils modules from the latest
CVS ("cvs checkout <module>").  Also, I'll be happy to send binutils exec
binaries to anyone running 3.4.

...now off to find more 3DNow apps! ;-)
