We can provide generic i486, or i486-compatible code that is optimized
for execution of i686 or higher CPUs, and on i686 isn't much slower than
native i686 code.

For dhrystone package I make build executables for different archs with
optimizations. - so we can at least in one synthetic test look at
efficiency..

Ok, I'll look on scripts in this weekend.

IMHO it'll be good to provide separate packages and prebuilt full image
- like it was earlier.

Yes, IMHO it'll be good.

I also sure that we can do beta release in some weeks.
