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).

VIDIX - Video Interface for *niX.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This library was designed and introduced as interface to userspace drivers
to provide DGA everywhere where it's possible (unline X11).
I hope that these drivers will be portable same as X11 (not only on *nix).

For details on how to develop a new driver see trunk/DOCS/tech/vidix.txt

IMPORTANT: These are NOT linux kernel drivers. If you are looking for
the mga_vid linux kernel drivers, please cd ../drivers thanks.
