Hello Dieter,

not much really... I did some more code 'readability' changes in the asm =

code,
but didn't change any real functionality at all. I have absolutely no=20
time at all
lately... sorry.

As for the cpu detection part - my feeling is that the loss of using SSE =

instead of
3DNow! on the current AMD processors is so little (it was ~.1 fps on=20
most stuff
I have tried [IIRC]) it is not worth the effort - and I am saying so=20
since I believe
AMD will do better with SSE on future processors and then we would=20
really like
to use the SSE path. But maybe others will see it otherwise...

Petr
