The original philosophy was to have in ./decore/src all the files necessary
to build the whole library on any architecture.  Developers can then use the
architecture-sepecific subdirs to create optimised versions of any of the
files in ./decore/src.  So, it should not be necessary to have a
./decore/src/generic directory as all the generic stuff should already
appear in ./decore/src.

On a tangent, in case x86 people hadn't noticed, the src/intel_mmx and
src/att_mmx architecture subdirs are obscolescent as in src/mmx we now have
macro-based, syntax-independent versions of most of the MMX code.
