This incorporates all the precedeing patches and emailed suggestions
and the results of the performance testing I posted last week. I
would like to get this tested on as many platforms as possible so
I can verify it went in correctly (as opposed to the horrorshow
last time I sent in a patch).
Once this is confirmed, I will make a tarball of files that can be
dropped into a 6.3.2 source tree as a few people have asked for
this in 6.3.2 as well.

Ok, I have finally gotten all of the defines for Dec/Alpha and
Linux/Alpha sorted out as Marc asked. There is no longer any need for
'-Dalpha' or '-Dlinuxalpha' in either the Dec/Alpha or the Linux/Alpha
template files (./src/template/{alpha,linuxalpha}). I have replaced every
instance of 'alpha' or '__alpha__' with '__alpha', as that appears to be
the common symbol between C compilers on both operating systems (RH4.2 &
DecUnix 4.0b) for alpha.
