No, this is misleading since the actual value you can pass to
TARGET_ARCH_EXCL is different between the two compilers. I've kept the
"TARGET_ARCH_EXCL=[cpu] (GCC-based platforms only)<br>" and added the
following:

<li>
   TARGET_ARCH_EXCL=[opts] (MSVC only)<br>
   This option allows you to optimize exclusively for a given architecture.
   Pass B to optimize for a PentiumPro or 7 to optimize for Pentium 4. Note
   that the options you can pass may be different between MSVC 6 and 7.
   Example: set TARGET_ARCH_EXCL=7

I hope that's correct. Also, please take some time to add some of the other
optimization flags that are defined for GCC (TARGET_ARCH_COMPAT,
TARGET_OPTS) in so far as they make sense.
