Sure, "echo $PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER" returns a string like "x86 Family 6 Model
15 Stepping 10, GenuineIntel", so it should be easy to fix the
autodetection. I just don't have enough machines with different CPUs to get
any kind of reliable statistics what kind of identifiers CPUs have. Can
somebody point at any documentation on this?

Can others who have windows boxes around please add to the list below? In
windows command prompt, type "echo %PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER%" and copy the
results here (need Pentium M and AMD processors). Thanks.

So far:
Core2 Duo in x32 mode:	x86 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 10, GenuineIntel
Core2 Duo in x64 mode:	EM64T Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 10, GenuineIntel
Pentium 4 HT:		x86 Family 15 Model 3 Stepping 3, GenuineIntel
