wcrafty-18.15-P4 is for Pentium 4 machines only!

wcrafty-18.15 is for all other processors - Celeron, P3, AMD.  This version will
check the CPU to see which compiler optimiztions are supported and will run the
most optimized set.  There is a small overhang for this feature ~1% - not much -
but it should run on everything - including P4's.  It will run about 1% slower
than the version that is strictly for P4.  Since I have a P4, I compiled a
version that was best suited for my processor ;>) - I wanted that extra 1%!
