I applied a patch which changes memset, memmove, memcpy, wmemset, wmemmove 
and wmemcpy to assembler code based on the NetBSD implementation.

Hmm, it wasn't that critical for the last couple of years... ;)

Either way, I'm just creating a 2.2.0-0.5 test release which I'll upload
and announce in a couple of minutes.  Please give it a try.

Since I'm AFK for the rest of the week, the official 2.2.0-1 release
will occur next week.


Thanks,
Corinna
