so what about a compromise? from the allegro docs i'd say the following info
should be available in binary since they are the most likely to be used in a
game:

family.
capabilities (int32 bitflags):  fpu, mmx, 3dnow, sse, cpuid

Agreed. But family will have to hacked to allow for the Pentium 4 (currently0xF), the Hammer and the Itanium. The last two of which I can't find anydocs about what is exactly returned by CPUID :/
