This is a silly notion.   Atom requires code to be built entirely 
differently from all modern processors in order to get maximum 
performance.  Code must be optimized for in-line performance.  Atom 
target support hasn't even hit gcc-4.4 yet.

When it does though, I think a mini-repo of atom optimized core 
libraries might make a difference for Atom users.
