[CLN-list] drop i386 asm?

Hello, \begin{quote} CLN is speed efficient: * The kernel of CLN has been written in assembly language for some CPUs (`i386', `m68k', `sparc', `mips', `arm'). \end{quote} I can't say anything about m68k, arm, and mips, but on x86 GCC generated code runs a bit faster. I checked this for -march={pentium[34], nocona,athlon,athlon-mp,k8}. Hence I propose to drop x86 asm, or at least to make -DNO_ASM the default.
