libfastmint update 20040902

The attached patch (against 1.03pr6) includes a new 
hashcash_quickbench() routine.  Adam, I'm leaving it up to you to 
integrate this in the main program.  It will probably still 
underestimate speed a bit, but it should now be in the right ballpark, 
and is a *lot* faster than hashcash_benchtest().  I also fixed a small 
bug in each minter that caused them to return (unsigned)(-1) if they 
found nothing at all in the allowed number of iterations - they now 
return 0 in that case.

The patch also includes an untested SIGILL handler for the MMX 
detectors, essentially lifted straight from Apple's recommended code 
for detecting Altivec on UNIX-like systems that aren't OSX.  This 
should allow operation of MMX-enabled binaries on old x86 CPUs that 
don't support CPUID.
