Since the P5 is officially the PENTIUM, and there are systems using V20, V30
and 8088 processors out there, I think the .x86. designator may not be the 
best for naming.  Maybe the generic "pc" could be used, though all the 
competing architectures (Amiga, Mac, etc) can claim that they are also
"personal computers".
