Maybe you are right, but this Zaurus port has a lot of code using IWMMX
instructions which are not supported on my Nokia 770 device. So I can't test
if all this code works correctly and can't provide much help with merging it
into ffmpeg. It would be better to have this code checked by someone actually
using a device with ARM XScale cpu.
