does your CPU have altivec? (I guess not)

mplayer is compiled with altivec support, and it crashes on non-altivec
powerpc CPUs.

This is a controversial decision we made some time ago. Compiling w/o
altivec would adversly affect people that have altivec. My hope was that
most CPUs nowdays would have altivec, but it seems there are exceptions
(this is the 3rd bug report).

Unfortunately AFAIK there is no run-time CPU detection currently for
altivec .

I am still hoping to find a better solution.
