[Mplayer-users] What to do before version 1.0

double work - nothing sense.

and if you've read my benchmark about i586 vs i686 thing here, then
you know: switching some mmx/sse/3dnow optimization at runtime is not all!

compilation of the C code (-march,-mcpu) also matters A LOT!
and you can't do it with runtime pointers.
