If generic routines are not available, every new architecture needs to implement its optimized version.

My first intention is to provide a highly portable, generic routine to get new targets up and running fast.

The second intention is to have a "Plan B" version available in case the architecture specific version fails for some reason, e.g. after upgrading the compiler.

Hehehehe.... what would happen, if I'd replace the current generic routine with the AVR specific version we had some years ago?
