It would be nice to not reinvent that wheel all the time.  I don't
suppose your function could be pulled out of winemenubuilder.c and
placed in a more accessible location.  Should I just copy and paste
it?  It's a good function and it would fit just fine in my opinion.

Alternatively, I doubt 2k or 4k worth of processor features ("flags")
are going to show up for some years, but I don't know.  At any rate,
at least it would fix it for current systems.
