Like anyone who values their time (but not their PVR box as much), I compile
on a much faster machine than I run on, making auto-detect a non-feature for
me.

Sure, but is ugly if you only pass --cpu (no ARCHFLAGS so the warning stuff
you added shows up). What about abandoning --cpu altogether and going with
something like --arch and --tune and have them mean essentially what they do
to gcc (doesn't really fix anything, just makes their function more obvious,
and of course still do CPU detection just boil things down to -march and
-mtune)?

Also some time soon I'm going to send a patch to allow separate C++ flags, I
think something like the patch I'm attaching (not final) will work better
for settings.pro.
