  There's a something call which windows is documented to use to
determine the CPU type. Sorry if I can't remember the details, I can
remember who to ask tomorrow. At any rate, MSoft documented this method,
but then used something else in W3 instead. The call works in VPIX, I
believe in merge, too, but it's not used.

  There is supposed to be a patch which makes this all work anyway. I'll
ask tomorrow for the details, I overhead this whole thing going on as a
discussion over lunch or somewhere.
