Hi Tony,

IMHO it would be fine to just run the generic builds and forget about
the specialized ones. We can probably simplify the machvec
infrastructure a bit by doing so, but I don't see how we're going to get
rid of the bulk of it..... says the guy who is in the process of adding
more entries :-)
