Apply performance options

Description

Since we need to use any piece of performance we can get and we don't have to support i386 CPUs, I suggest to let qmake generate the compiler options (for GCC4.x):

-march=i486 -mtune=generic

Don't expect wonders from that, but a small speed gain can be measured. The down side is, that the created code grows a bit in size.

This needs to be tested using the BLIT test (see the test result table in #101). Once I get numbers and these numbers demonstrate a noticeable performance boost, I will enable it.

speed w/o the above options:

driver/mode NO_DIVEDIVE=BLITDIVE=FBDIVE=FBSWM
Panorama/32bit (16M) 30258 41744 47460 44459

speed with the above options:

driver/mode NO_DIVEDIVE=BLITDIVE=FBDIVE=FBSWM
Panorama/32bit (16M) 31032 43670 48940 47789

Not that bad. (The FBSWM test is probably not in the line because it depends on where your mouse is and how intensively you move it). I think it's worth doing it. I don't think there is anybody running an i386 PC and wanting to use Qt4.
