Summary: platform.processor() could be smarter

Initial Comment:
    As far as I can see, platform.py only looks at 
the output of "uname -p" 
when platform.processor() is called.  But on my 
system (Debian Linux), this 
doesn't give a result. 
 
    Could you please enhance this function in a 
way that it also looks at 
/proc/cpuinfo?  I'd need this to automatically find 
the appropriate options 
like "-march=..." and "-msse" for gcc/g++ in an 
scons script. 
 
Thanks, 
 
    - Stephan.
