   OK.  That can still be done; we just need a way to detect we are in an Intel   
   Mac environment.

   This requirement can be addressed in the README, or possibly by adding a check   
   to the configure script.

   Ok.  You'll need to take the lead on diagnosing that, unless someone donates   
   an Intel Mac to me... ;-)
