Hehe if ya want to pay me a million dollars (or more) I'll be happy to make it
work.. ;)  But I still won't recommend it to anyone.  The answer to this is
understand what you are getting yourself into and understand that you are
probably costing yourself much more over the short and long term to use a
"common" set of binaries then to use binaries tailored for the specific CPU that
you are using.
