Hi Andre,

I meant that nobody should be reshuffling 2.4 headers now, didn't intend to
sound like I take that personally.

I'll take a look. I may be able to do something with include guards or other
#defines + multiple passes. We already have the multiple passes.

I think my arguments for the present patch are good. I'm making a mod of
Arjan's athlon.c to see if I'm right. If you have a suggestion for another
benchmark, I'd like to hear about it. Whatever the results, I'll post them
here.

Glad if whatever comes out is useful to you.

Cheers,
Tom
