I noticed that in "if"s in:
- clocks_timings.c
- ioMem.c
- video.c

You didn't use the isMachine*() inline functions
you had added in the previous commit.  Was there
some reason for this?


In the System settings dialog, would it look better
to list machine types like this (names aligned):
o ST
o ST (Mega)
o STE
o STE (Mega)
o TT
o Falcon

Instead of current:
o ST
o Mega ST
o STE
o Mega STE
o TT
o Falcon

Add the advanced CPU options button to the System dialog,
not to the main one.
