Only compile and use libmpeg2 AltiVec code when AltiVec is available. The AltiVec code needs -maltivec to compile, but then AltiVec instructions appear in other places of the code causing MPlayer to sigill. Somehow upstream libmpeg2 manages not to sigill under what appear to be the same circumstances. Enlightenment welcome.

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.
