	Cool. I think I would have kept the include path in settings.pro,
but either file is should be fine.

	I suspect that most developers wouldn't want Altivec + debug,
but it is easy enough to find in settings.pro.

	No, you are the one improving configure. Seize the Day!

	It is really just another optimisation flag.
Since the new configure has --enable-small, I thought that
the orthogonal optimisation for speed would make sense?



	V7 patch looks good - settings.pro is nice and simple,
and a Mac OS X build was clean. Still working on Solaris :-)

	Do you feel up to trying this in the other modules?
I am assuming that we could use the exact same configure.
(either through CVS symlink trickery,
  or by installing config.{h,mak} from the MythTV build)
