The scheduler supports generation of code using several different
scheduling models.  This allows testing of the models without having
to have a different compiler for each.  Where binaries are being
distributed, the compiler may be running on the latest PA gizmo
but a more portable arch and scheduling model may be desired for
the code being distributed.

The HP ansi compiler supports options to select the target architecture,
data model, apptype, OS, and scheduler model (tuning).
