annotate vidix/README @ 30884:53901d222e8a

Announce SMP support for Win32. Don't hardcode dwNumberOfProcessors=1 for Win32 anymore; the mutex/event code is still far from perfect, but now good enough that I can't find any codecs that breaks with this (tested on a quad with various codecs). This tells codecs they can use more than one core if they want to (some already did, by launching multiple threads even when told there was only a single core).
