Thanks for changing this.

I understand. That is fine to make the code more transparent. So I have
more easy reading.

Oh, I have to look much deeper in this.

Regarding the configure changes. Would You like to take over the assembler
switch only. As You described, the assembler optimization only works for
pentium based systems. Switching this part of could help make Your library
more portable? I am not aware of compiling lcms on other processors.
